It all started in Italy, when there were no doctors in lab coats yet. People then donated blood or even plasma to underweight children once they were born. The rumours spread all over Italy during that time that it might be the cause of hepatitis spreading all over the country.
Now that we are already in year 2010, and now that we already have professionals in science lab coats, is there a development on this disease-causing virus? Hepatitis virus is divided into three groups --- Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. You can easily distinguish one from the other because of their complexions. When the doctor in laboratory coat says that your colour is becoming yellowish pale, you may be suffering from Hepatitis A. On the other hand, if the person in a doctor lab coat told you that you are becoming violet and a little pale as well, that may be Hepatitis B. If you are having Hepatitis C, which may be blackish colour that you have.
Are you suffering from nausea? Do you feel like vomiting from time to time? Are you also suffering from diarrhea? If yes, continue observing. It is because your friendly people in lab coats say that if you are suffering some sort of flu, then it might be leading to Hepatitis C. Loss of appetite is also frightening, most particularly if it is accompanied by fatigue and feeling of weakness. You know why? It is because these flulike symptoms are totally the same with HCV.
From 1960 until now, the virus has not left. That is why we must all be on guard as always. We need to watch what we eat and also avoid those symptoms. It might sound threatening but anyone can be infected by Hepatitis A, B or C. There is no harm in prevention.
