Narrative

An employee was walking to each collection location helping to empty recycling and garbage on truck. A woman offered the employee a cold bottle of water. He said sure and she went into a house and brought out a bottle of liquid which the employee drank. He took a sip and immediately started vomiting. The "water" turned out to be a diluted mix of bleach and detergent. The employee was hospitalized.
