A hepatitis A outbreak linked to a New Jersey golf and tennis club has
sickened nearly two dozen people, health officials said.
At least 23 people — including one person who is “seriously ill,”
according to the New Jersey Department of Health — have contracted
hepatitis A from a food handler at the Mendham Golf & Tennis Club. Those
sickened were likely exposed between June 9 and June 30 but were not
notified of a possible exposure until July 5.

“The food handler was excluded from work and a review of other food
handlers for vaccination and proof of immunity was conducted. Close
contacts of the food handler were identified and given prophylaxis
(vaccine or medication to prevent illness after exposure),” according to a
statement from the New Jersey Department of Health.
The outbreak was contained to the members-only club.
When members were notified, they were asked to inform any guests who may
have dined at the club with them.
“This notification also advised that those who dined at the club when the
food-handler was potentially infectious should receive post-exposure
prophylaxis,” health officials added.
The “highly contagious” liver infection is caused by the hepatitis A
virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The
virus typically spreads when a person eats or drinks something
“contaminated by small, undetected amounts of stool from an infected
person,” the health agency said.
Those who contract hepatitis A — not to be confused with hepatitis B or C,
which are caused by different viruses — may be sick for “several weeks"
and usually fully recover, according to the CDC. It is rare to die from
the illness, though hepatitis A can cause liver failure and death,
typically in those who are 50 years of age or older.

Symptoms include fever, fatigue, dark urine, vomiting, joint pain, and
jaundice, among other signs.
While hepatitis A infections do happen in the U.S., they're more common in
developing countries where sanitation and hygiene are poor, the CDC says.
The disease is preventable with a vaccine.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
