Of course you can be infected with hepatitis C from spit. 40% of the population's spit will contain some blood due to any number of things. Did you ever have visible blood in your spit? Now consider that it does not have to be visible blood to carry HCV.
If you Google, you can find cases of HCV acquired by using a toothbrush of infected person, or if they use yours. Also, due to the high number of cases where transmission is not defined (victims never engaged in any high risk of transmission activity), bodily fluid other than highly concentrated blood, where the presence of blood must be less visible must not be ruled out.
In addition, these mystery cases are not likely to ever be determined to have been acquired through casual contact with the infected, as this has become very political, meaning you won't get un-massaged facts. And, when you read many post stating how you can even have sex with a HCV infected person, you may see a request for you to become an organ donor.
The reckless lifestyle that most infected have led does put innocent people in danger.
