In the United States, frozen strawberries caused an outbreak of hepatitis A.

So, at least five people were infected in the state of Washington.

Two people were hospitalized.

Yahoo.com writes about it.

Note that hepatitis A can spread through contaminated feces and poor hygiene.

However, the expert said that strawberries are particularly vulnerable to infection.

Berries from California Splendor and Scenic Fruit were sold at a number of retailers, including Costco and Trader Joe's.

The cause of the outbreak is still under investigation.

Doctors say the best way to prevent hepatitis A infection, even if someone doesn't wash their hands yet, is to get vaccinated.

However, they still recommend washing hands after using the toilet and before preparing or eating food.

Signs of infection include abdominal pain, fever, yellowing of the skin, and fatigue.
