Answer:
The hepatitis A virus is found in the stool and blood of people who are infected.
Step-by-step explanation:
The hepatitis A virus is spread when someone ingests the virus (even in amounts too small to see) through:
►Person-to-person contact
Hepatitis A can be spread from close, personal contact with an infected person, such as through certain types of sexual contact, caring for someone who is ill, or using drugs with others. Hepatitis A is very contagious, and people can even spread the virus before they feel sick.
►Eating contaminated food or drink
Contamination of food with the hepatitis A virus can happen at any point: growing, harvesting, processing, handling, and even after cooking. Contamination of food and water happens more often in countries where hepatitis A is common. Although uncommon, foodborne outbreaks have occurred in the United States from people eating contaminated fresh and frozen imported food products.
