I had Hep A when I was working at a lab at UCSF.
Now, that was a drag but I turned a very interesting color.
Kinda matched my hair.

Hep A is actually pretty common. Millions have it and don't know it because
symptoms are flu like and fairly mild. The color thang only happens to
some, not all. I thought I had it once from a waiter who didn't wash his
hands after wiping his bung hole, but it turned out to be some other 3rd
world bug. I like to eat at home now.

The Heps are easy to remember:

Ya get Hep A from Ass
Ya get Hep B from Blood
Ya get Hep C from Cunts, Cocks or Needles.

Sorry about the C word but the doc taught me that and we taught it to our
chillens (who are actually vaccinated against A and B. But most adults are
not vaccinated so in the name of public health I thought I should pass that
on. Could save someone's life ya know!
