The city health department issued a statement, warning anyone who visited Socialista in Manhattan’s West Village on February 7, 8 or 11 to get a vaccination.

Selma Hayek?! NOOOO!!!

annnd, just for references sake:

Hepatitis A is a liver disease caused by a virus and is spread from person to person by putting something in the mouth that has been contaminated with traces of fecal matter from an infected person, the department said.

Dude you can get rid of Hep A with a medication.

and that makes involuntary exposure okay with you?

Well no, I think it’s disgusting, but it’s not a life threatening thing.

yea, unless you’re like me and deathly allergic to the few things that can cure it.

Wrong.

You don’t treat Hep A. You rest, get lots of fluids, and wait for your body to build up the antibodies. If you’re generally healthy you’re better in a week or two. Some people end up sick for months though but very few suffer any permanent liver damage. Once your body has built up the antibodies you can never get it again.

And picturing Madonna suffering through a week or more of vomiting and diarrhea made me smile a little bit this early Friday morning. :slight_smile:

no different then when she is on that hollywood diet crap…

:tup: any day i see some rich spoiled celebrity going through everyday life like the rest of us is ok with me.
