Can liver disease be contagious if we eat together?

After liver disease occurs, there are two viral problems such as hepatitis A and hepatitis B. People often find that some liver diseases are contagious, but not every liver disease is contagious. Only a few fixed liver diseases will cause serious infectious problems because they have serious infectious sources. It is possible to eat with a patient with liver disease, but is liver disease contagious?

Next, let us tell you about the misunderstandings about hepatitis B in our daily lives.

Myth 1: You will be infected if you eat with a hepatitis B patient

In fact, it is not contagious under normal circumstances. Even if you have oral ulcers and happen to come into contact with his saliva, you may not be infected, because you also have to consider whether the virus concentration has reached a contagious concentration? And after infection, how much of the virus will be eliminated by the body's immune system. Because there are so many low-probability events to consider. Therefore, the medical community generally believes that you will not be infected by eating with a hepatitis B patient.

Myth 2: Hepatitis B patients will infect the next generation

The injection of hepatitis B immunoglobulin within 24 hours after birth of a fetus carried by a hepatitis B virus carrier combined with the hepatitis B vaccine using the "0, 1, 6" method can achieve a blocking rate of over 95%. Therefore, the vast majority of hepatitis B patients are chronic hepatitis B virus carriers. They do not have any physical discomfort, their liver function is completely normal, and they can get married and have children. However, hepatitis B vaccination must be carried out to block mother-to-child transmission.

Myth 3: Hepatitis B can be cured with specific drugs

At present, chronic hepatitis B cannot be completely cured. Even with the development of medicine, there is still no way to cure chronic hepatitis B. However, depending on the condition, infection method and individual differences, it can be partially controlled and even prevent recurrence throughout life. All those advertisements claiming that "big and small triple positive" can all turn to negative are false. Those advertisements claiming that hepatitis B can be completely cured by anything from "secret recipes handed down from ancestors" to "gene therapy", from "folk remedies" to "special medicines" are all false advertisements.

Myth 4: Hepatitis B patients with normal liver function can drink less alcohol

Patients with hepatitis B cannot drink alcohol even if their liver function tests show normal. The liver's compensatory ability may be very strong and hepatitis B has already occurred, but liver function tests are still within the normal range. Therefore, a comprehensive diagnosis of hepatitis B should also refer to more comprehensive examination items. If there are abnormalities in hepatitis B, you should not drink alcohol.

No disease is trivial, let alone hepatitis B, which has a great impact on health. Therefore, we must pay more attention to hepatitis B information in our daily lives, treat hepatitis B disease correctly, and never ignore it or believe in rumors from others.
