hepatitis a is one of several hepatitis viruses known to man and by far the most common and least dangerous. the virus is transmitted via the fecal-oral route, from the ingestion of contaminated food and water. infected individuals will shed the virus thru their urine and feces and if not disposed properly due to poor sanitary conditions, it may lead to the contamination of food and water sources. the best way to prevent this disease by far is by vaccination. hygiene and sanitary practices will help curb down epidemics.. you can check my other articles in internal medicine at lowellmd202.blogspot.com
