The most Hep C infested country in the world is Egypt, where about 10% of the population have the disease, a consequence of a poorly executed humanitarian effort against a water borne parasite that had crippled Egypt since the time of the Pharaohs.

Did the people in Egypt get Hep C from drinking feces tainted water?

I thought Hep C was pretty much blood borne, not fecal/oral like Hep A.
