Sn00py and Isis' dad was diagnosed with Hep C while we were still married. After several years of not seeing him....I did notice he lost a lot of weight and muscle mass. I don't know if that's what caused it.

I know you have to take some precautions since it can be infectious to other people. Mainly making sure the kids didn't use the same eating utensil and he never cleaned wounds on them which were bleeding. I think it is only transferrable in blood.

I know they give teachers and medical staff shots for it. I'm not sure if they immunize everyone now.
