“Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.”
I am fairly conscientious about handwashing and general hygiene, but managed to get Hep A in the bush in Uganda back in 1981. I’d guess Hep A carriers were as abundant around me then as they seem to be in San Diego now.
I was a ‘sick puppy’ for a while there. When I finally made it out to the hospital in Nairobi and lab tests, the doctor told me, “I see about three cases of hepatitis each day. Other than in a textbook, yours are the worst lab results I’ve ever seen.”
Hep B is supposed to be worse.

You sound blessed to have come through such a bad case.

Glad to see you with us
Water, alone is insufficient.
You need the soap and water together(bubbles),
to float the bad germs and virus away.

Just one of the "Blessings" of inviting 'bush people' into the United States
without the benefit of medical supervision offered by an 'Ellis Island'.
