We all know the guy is an annoying nitwit, but it does you no credit to
post like that. We can wish for someone to stop posting, or to change
their posting style drastically, without wishing them pain or suffering.

And for Skybuck - non-recharchable batteries can leak when they are old.
They contain a roll of electrodes and paper soaked in either an acid
or an alkali, and that can leak out. The leakage will often cause
corrosion in the device. In particular, you get corrosion on the
electrodes connected to the battery. It is sometimes possible to clean
it up, and scrape off the corrosion with a knife, but for an old cheap
torch it is not worth it. Get a new torch with LED bulb and modern
batteries which leak far less than older makes. The broken torch needs
to be disposed of as electrical goods, not thrown out as general rubbish.

Relax and stop worrying so much, and cut out any mind-altering
substances you are using. Your paranoia and conspiracy theories are
getting worse - this is battery leakage, not a bacterial invasion.
