I drink canned beverages when I'm gardening and camping.



I know several people who have ended up in the hospital due to swallowing bees that were stuck in their beverage (stung in the mouth).

You vill have to sacrifice some convenience. I suggest inverting a wide-mouthed plastic cup as a barrier over the can. Remove the cup when you want to drink, drink from the can, and then immediately replace the cup. Eventually you will drop or knock over the cup. Wipe with the cleanest thing you have available and replace. A little dirt won't harm you. Cheers!

    I can think of a few solutions:



    1. Stretch a square of mosquito netting over the mouth of the can, with a rubber band to secure it in place.

    2. Buy and use a soda can lid.

    3. Switch to 2L bottled soda and use auto-sealing bottles.
