Hepatitis A symptoms
If you are worried you could have been contaminated, the FDA says to look for the following symptoms; fever, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, abdominal pain, and dark-colored urine. In some instances, children, especially those under the age of six, could be asymptomatic to Hepatitis A infections.
The illness usually occurs within 15 to 50 days after eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
The FDA recommends persons who may have consumed the affected product should consult their healthcare provider or local health department to determine if a vaccination is appropriate.
