How are you celebrating World Hepatitis Day


Happy World Hepatitis Day! 😶

I had Hep A once. Got it from a dirty salad bar 🤮 Nasty

reply

I was unaware of this...that is a very dreadful virus
I do hope you have fully recovered Entwickler

reply

I did, thank you.

reply

where did you contract it?

reply

It was a local “family style” restaurant. I forget the name but I think it closed years ago. I remember it was a Sunday night, it was low staffed, and there were kids running around grabbing food from the salad bar with their bare hands. Lots of warning signs. I was coming back from skiing and just wanted a cheap, quick meal. Oh well.

reply

bad luck. glad you recovered.

reply

Certainly not by going out of the way to get hepatitis:-)

reply

Sharing needles.

reply

Let's celebrate it by drinking a lot 🍾🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂🥃🥤




...I am kidding.

reply

Oh yeah, I could not drink anything for a year after. Doctors orders.

reply

Hepatitis can be induced chemically by alcohol or medicine as well. I was taking a drug called methotrexate for psoriasis and arthritis about 15 years ago and had to have my liver function tested regularly in case I developed it.

reply

Thankfully, I have never had it. I'm sorry for those who have suffered from it and hope they recover successfully from it.

reply

There is apparently a cure for hep C now with a greater than 90% success rate. It is apparently very expensive though.

reply

I've only had herpes.



Type 1 that is.

reply

I had chickenpox as a kid. I think that is a form of herpes. I probably should get the new shingles vaccine.

reply

I had shingles. You probably should get that vaccines. That illness is a mean mutha-(hush yo mouth). I never take pain pills but was popping them like pez dispensers the entire time.

reply

I just got my 1st. It is two shots 2 - 6 months apart, if you are 50 years old or over.

reply

Where is the most dangerous place to swim?

Hepatitis C.
