1) What is hepatitis A and how do you get it?


2) What's hepatitis B and how do you get it?
3) What's hepatitis C and how do you get it?
4) I shook someone elses hand and after like 40 minutes I was at a McDonalds and forgot to wash my hands. What's my chance of getting hepatitis by eating and not washing my hands? (I'm really paranoid)

Hep A is caused by feces (kaka) from an infected person ending up in the food supply..salad bars are especially suspect. Hand washing after contact with any unclean surface is vital, but will not prevent Hep A infection..unless the hand you shook was contaminated with feces from an infected individual..it's usually raw, or undercooked food that spreads this malady. Hep B is usually spread by blood products, more importantly, sharing syringes in the IV drug abuse population, but any contact with infected blood or body fluids can transmit the disease. Hep C is a real culprit in that blood/body fluids play the most instrumental part in transmission, it can be spread by sharing toothbrushes, or using the instrument to snort drugs..Hep A, B, C are all viral infections of the liver, Hep A is usually mild and full recovery is likely..Hep B and C are the reason for most of the liver transplants, and can cause serious and life limiting conditions...Hope this helped.
