Hepatitis C? Rimming? Needles? Snorting coke? Blood on blood? Syrum?

[Sparky Kronkite]

What's the deal? How do most people get it?

Shared drug needles I bet. But what about other ways to catch it? Get it?

This syrum thing is the weirdest - like you could get it from oral sex. Or kissing?

Blood on blood? Similar to AIDS?

I heard on the radio this morning that Pamela Anderson has it. She is claiming she got it from sharing a tattoo needle with Tommy Lee.

I'd be willing to bet that if it can be transferred by needles you would be able to get it via blood on blood also. Not sure about other ways of catching it.

Hepatitis C is also contracted from body fluids. An infected person can pass it on through sexual activity or through saliva. Sharing a glass of water, kissing, etc. It is the worse of the 3 types of hepatitis.

You can get it from unsterilized acupuncture needles too, basically anything that comes in contact with blood, or infected blood products. Don't know about other body fluids.

Needles and infected blood products are to most common ways to get it (I think the blood supply system in North America is safe now though).

I found out last year that my ex husband has Hep.C and while it is possible to contract it through sex and saliva, it is highly unlikely. I was with him for 5 years and we had sex and kissed on a daily basis and I never contracted it. Thank God.
The most common way to get it is through blood contact, sharing needles, etc....

Um.. yeah, um.. Pamela Anderson got it from a needle? What I saw on that video wasn't a needle.

My brother finished his treatments for hepatitis C one year and two months ago. the kemo sp? treatments were bad assed.

he is doing ok now, his liver regenerated itself. he no longer drinks, does drugs or works himself half to death. he learned how to relax and take life a little slower.

God does indeed have mercy sometimes.

I just repeated what I heard....made he called it his flesh needle or something...

There is a vaccine easily obtainable for hepatist C- It is a series of three shots.

The hospitals in Indiana now start the vaccine at birth. Which is something I am not sure I agree with.

Tommy Lee has had two tests. Both negative. He either found a cure, or Pammy baby is a liar. Any bets?

She may very well be ill but she's pretty quick to blame Tommy Lee for everything wrong with her life. Maybe she picked it up from Kid Rock...who knows? It's just another messy part of the custody battle.

Pretty much sabbath. This is going to backfire big time. What a twit. I take no pleasure in her disease, or what she faces. But her press play certainly reduces any sympathy I may have.
