Can a woman die from leptospirosis contracted by drinking from an infected soda can?

Leptospirosis is: Spread through water contaminated with urine usually from rodents. It would be unlikely for this to occur from the inside of an unopened soda can but the top could be contaminated. Leptospirosis can be fatal but not commonly.
