Euro Trip? Watch Out for This Outbreak

Planning a Euro summer? Heads up—hepatitis A is spiking in Austria, Czechia, Hungary, and Slovakia, with over 2,000 cases reported already this year. Czechia’s been hit hardest, and Slovakia’s been battling outbreaks for years. The virus spreads through contaminated food, water, or close contact, and not everyone shows symptoms. If you notice dark urine, yellow skin, or feel super tired, get checked! There’s a vaccine, so make sure you’re covered before you go. #TravelAlert #HepatitisA #EuroTrip #Health

Hepatitis A Outbreak Linked to Food?

UK health officials are digging into a hepatitis A spike, and it might be tied to something we’re all eating! Two clusters have popped up across England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, with dozens hospitalized (but no deaths). Most cases haven’t traveled abroad, so a food item from a major supermarket is under the microscope. The investigation’s ongoing, but if you’ve been feeling off lately, maybe check what’s in your fridge! #HepatitisA #FoodSafety #UKNews #Health #BodyHealth
