How to prevent Hepatitis A

-Wash your hands with soap after going to the toilet
-Only consume food that has just been cooked
-Only drink commercially bottled water, or boiled water if you unsure of local sanitation
-Only eat fruits that you can peel if you are somewhere where sanitation is unreliable
-Only eat raw vegetables if you are sure they have been cleaned/disinfected thoroughly
-Get a vaccine for Hepatitis A if you travel to places where hepatitis may be endemic
