Shellfish that live in contaminated waters are another source for the A hepatitis.
Infected people lose their appetite, they are often sick to their stomach and vomit.
Weakness and fatigue descend on their bodies. Frequently the skin turns yellow. As sick as hepatitis A makes a person, rarely does it cause death, and it never becomes a chronic liver infection. Treatment consists of an attempt to make the infected person more comfortable. However, the B virus can persist in liver cells, leading to cirrhosis and death.
