In these weeks we started talking about the disease of hepatitis, and to highlight its main symptoms and signs to recognize. Yesterday we started to see hepatitis A.
Today we will continue expounding on the topic. Here are some simple recommendations that can aide in preventing hepatitis A:
- Carefully wash fruits and vegetables before eating.
- Wash hands regularly, especially after using the bathroom, when we play food, before changing a baby’s diaper and before eating.
- Do not eat raw seafood, and raw oysters.
- Be vaccinated against hepatitis A when traveling to countries where it is easy for the virus being found in food and water supplies. The vaccine provides antibodies that protect against infection.
