<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3880740, member: 72790"]You may have picked up Hepatitis A which I picked up in Italy many, many years ago. It is spread by poor sanitation. One feels very bad for quite sometime with that but once acquired and survived (most people do) one is supposed to have immunity from this form of hepatitis. I later found out that this illness is endemic to the Mediterranean, that most residents got it as children and either survived (most did) or not but that for adults the illness was not a problem because of this early exposure. Perhaps some readers from that region could tell us if this is true and whether it is still a problem in that area today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
