I’m confused is this a pfo or some sort of a waitlist?

😭 HELP ??

I just ingested a few sips of a canned coffee but I noticed the top of it was slightly bulging... so I searched it up and it said it could be deadly toxins or smth and that I might develop neurological issues if it actually did contain the bacteria?? I have an AC tmr this was not what I needed rn 😂😭

Please pray for my health...
