Prevention of Hepatitides

To prevent hepatitis especially in foreign countries be sure to wash hands thoroughly after using the bathroom or handling raw foodstuffs.  Only eat food that has just been cooked.  Only drink bottled water and avoid raw vegetables and fruits that cannot be peeled.  A hepatitis A vaccine will help prevent the disease when traveling abroad.  Prevent Hepatitis B by practicing safe sex.  In addition do not share items that may be contaminated with someone else s blood including needles, toothbrushes, razors or manicure items.  Limit alcohol intake.  Pay attention to dangerous or lethal chemicals and only use as directed.
