Question

contaminated food, how can you catch it from food. I don't understand, please advise

Answer 1

"It is spread almost exclusively through fecal-oral contact, generally from person-to-person, or via contaminated food or water. Food contaminated with the virus is the most common vehicle transmitting hepatitis A. The food preparer or cook is the individual most often contaminating the food, although he or she is generally not ill at the time of food preparation. The peak time of infectivity, when the most virus is present in the stool of an infectious individual, is during the two weeks before illness begins. Although only a small percentage of hepatitis A infections is associated with foodborne transmission, foodborne outbreaks have been increasingly implicated as a significant source of hepatitis A infection.

Hepatitis A may also be spread by household contact among families or roommates, sexual contact, ingestion of contaminated water, ingestion of raw or undercooked fruits and vegetables or shellfish (like oysters), and from persons sharing illicit drugs. Children often have asymptomatic or unrecognized infections and can pass the virus through ordinary play to family members and other children and adults.

Hepatitis A infection is totally preventable. Ill food-handlers should be excluded from work. Commercial food workers and other individuals who prepare food for others must always wash their hands with soap and water after using the bathroom, changing a diaper, and before preparing food. Cooking food to a temperature of 185°F or higher will inactivate hepatitis A."

Answer 2

I hate to say this because I DO love John Inman, but the rumors are maybe AIDS complications and not hepatitis A.
This is a common cover up for some famous homosexuals. But who cares if that is true!!! John was a great comedian and "Are You Being Served" would not have lasted two seasons without him let alone 13 production years. Rest in peace John and you will be missed!

Answer 3

1. Who is John Inman?

2. Hepatitis could be contracted from shellfish in sewage-contaminated water, for example.

Answer 4

John Inman Death

Answer 5

Oh my god? Is this the same John Inman as in 'Are You Being Served'?
How can you catch this through eating? Not right surely?

Answer 6

seen hepatitis can be transfered through bodily fluids, if who ever was preparing the food sneezed, coughed any thing over his food then it is contaminated. Then he ate it so he was succeptable enough to contract it.
