“Hepatitis A is a contagious liver disease that results from exposure to the Hepatitis A virus, including from food. It can range from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious illness lasting several months” according to the FDA.
The illness caused by Hepatitis A can occur between 15-20 days after exposure.
If affected you may feel fatigue, abdominal pain, dark urine, and pale stool.
Hepatitis A vaccination can prevent illness if given within two weeks of exposure to a contaminated food.
Contact your local health department or your physician to see if the vaccination is appropriate for you in case you consumed the contaminated food.
