Bacterial : Yes, bacterial are everywhere. We have defense mechanisms, our immune system, and hygiene. There are more types of bacteria in your gut than on those cans. Clean the floor, you can steam clean the trunk but relax. It is unlikely to be any concerns after handling the recycled cans if you are healthy and keep clean. See a primary care doctor and discuss your health physical and emotional concerns.
