Hepatitis A B and C • Be aware of Hepatitis A,B, or C as they are notorious for attacking the Liver, rendering it incapable of filtering harmful materials from the body. • Hepatitis A,B, and C use the main transportation of fecal matter, non-sterilized needles, and through sexual contact (exception of Hepatitis C, which prefers needles) • Hepatitis A,B, and C all attack the functions of the liver and can cause future life-threatening conditions. • Hepatitis A and B are ranked at a 5 on the threat scale because they can be treated in most areas, but Hepatitis C is ranked at a 7 because it is known for causing liver conditions such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. • There is NO specific treatment. Most just fight off the disease naturally.
