Jamba warns of hepatitis A exposure

Santa Clara County health officials warned Thursday that customers of the Jamba Juice on the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Willow Street may have been exposed to hepatitis A and should see their doctor.

County health officials said the risk to the public is low, but they are recommending some customers either get a hepatitis A vaccine or an immune globulin shot. The company said it has disposed of all food products, thoroughly cleaned the store and brought in replacement workers until the store's employees are also treated.

Symptoms of the hepatitis A virus can show up between 15 days and 50 days after exposure, and include jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, fever and loss of appetite. If someone does contract the virus, it will usually pass without serious harm.read more

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
