Hapetitis B can be batter or not?

Hepatitis means inflammation (itis) of the liver (hepar), an irritation or swelling of the liver cells. There are many causes of hepatitis which include viral infections A, B and C that most of us have heard of, but also the disease also includes auto-immune hepatitis, fatty liver hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis and toxin induced hepatitis. Globally, it is estimated that around 250 million people are affected by hepatitis C. Moreover, an estimated 400 million people are chronic carriers of hepatitis B.


Have you been vaccinated?

Yes, for many different sicknesses. Vaccinations are arguably the most important medical technology development of all time, as they have eradicated many terrible diseases and illnesses. If you have the opportunity to be vaccinated for anything, 99% of the time it is in your best interest to do so.


How do you catch hepatitus?

Hepatitis AThe hepatitis A virus (HAV) is transmitted through the feces (poop) of infected individuals. People usually get hepatitis A by eating food or drinking water that's been contaminated with feces. As disgusting as that sounds though, hepatitis A is actually considered less destructive than some other hepatitis viruses. Unlike some other hepatitis viruses, hepatitis A rarely leads to permanent liver damage. Within a few weeks, the symptoms will have gone away on their own and the virus will no longer be in your system. Once someone has recovered from a hepatitis A infection, that person has immunity to the virus, meaning he or she will probably never get it again. People are also protected against hepatitis A if they've been vaccinated for it.ListenHepatitis BHepatitis B is a more serious infection. It may lead to a condition called cirrhosis (permanent scarring of the liver) or liver cancer, both of which cause severe illness and even death. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is transmitted from person to person through blood or other body fluids. This can happen in the following ways:1 unprotected sex2 sharing contaminated needles3 using non-sterilised equipment for tattooing or body piercing or acupuncture4 blood transfusion using non-screened blood5 from infected mother to baby.NB It is not spread through coughing, sneezing or from faeces.In the United States, the most common way people get infected with HBV is through unprotected sex with a person who has the disease. People who share needles also are at risk of becoming infected because it's likely that the needles they use will not have been sterilized.As yet, there's no effective cure for hepatitis B. In most cases, teens who get hepatitis B will recover from the disease and may develop a natural immunity to future hepatitis B infections. But some people will have the condition forever. Medications can help some people with hepatitis B get rid of the virus.Hepatitis CThe hepatitis C virus (HCV) is transmitted from person to person through blood or other body fluids. Like hepatitis B, hepatitis C can lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Hepatitis C is the most serious type of hepatitis. It's now one of the most common reasons for liver transplants in adults. Every year, thousands of people in the United States die from HCV. And there's no cure and no vaccine.An estimated 4.1 million Americans are currently infected with the virus. The most common way people become infected is through sharing drug paraphernalia such as needles and straws. People also get hepatitis C after having unprotected sex with an infected partner. Before 1990, many people got it through blood transfusions, but better blood screening and handling procedures now mean that this rarely happens.The medications currently used to treat hepatitis C are effective in controlling the disease in some people. However, hepatitis C treatments are not very easy to take, especially because some require frequent injections.


How many people have died from Hepatitis A?

Viral hepatitis is one of the most important causes of chronic liver disease in the United States, it's also a worldwide problem, and millions of people are at risk for its complications. Though sometimes it seems that doctors are losing "the war" against viral hepatitis, the actual numbers of people with viral hepatitis collected by health officials suggest otherwise.


Why should a person get vaccinated?

Vaccines are inert or harmless weak versions of deadly viruses and diseases, when given to you your own immune system will develop immunity to them. Many fatal diseases have been effectively cured this way, the only danger is in not getting vaccinated.


Can not vaccinating have an effect on those who do?

Not really. In theory, those who do not are more vulnerable, and will therefore get the disease, and pass it on to others who have not been vaccinated. Those who are vaccinated should be safe, regardless of others. However, vaccinations only attempt to protect from a few strains out of hundreds, in many cases, and may even weaken the recipiant to the other strains, so the vaccinated individual could actualy have a negative effect on those who have not been. Those who have not been vaccinated also may protect themselves in others ways, using anything from hand sanitizer to Vitamin supliments, such as Vitamin D. (Ever wonder why people get sick more in the winter? It's because there is less sunlight to created Vitamin D in the body)
