Hepatitis A is a virus-infected liver ailment. The virus is secreted in feces and is often passed from person to person via contaminated hands.
Symptoms include severe stomach discomfort, lethargy, diarrhea, nausea, headache, dark urine, and vomiting, followed by skin and eye yellowing.
Symptoms might emerge two to six weeks following exposure, with an average of one month.
