The Los Angeles County health department recommended on Tuesday that anyone who ate uncooked food at the U.S. sports magazine's party on February 14 get treatment by Wednesday to avoid developing the serious liver disease.

This is obviously high class fecal matter. Your inferior perception would have difficulty grasping the concept.

Very important: before going to "A" list parties... get a Hep A injection... then 6 weeks after said party, a Hep A booster.
You're then golden... or is it "clean?"
