Can you get hepatitis by washing silverware at a restaurant?!
Question: No. Hepatitis A is transmitted by fecal/oral route, which means someone with hep A had a BM and then didn't wash their hands, then prepared food. Then someone who ate the food would then get the Hepatitis A virus (HAV).
Hep B (HBV) is transmitted through bodily fluids (sexual contact) and blood to blood contact.
Hep C (HCV) is transmitted through blood to blood contact only.
Washing silverware is not a risk factor for transmitting any kind of hepatitis. Hope this helps.
