Hepatitis A Cases Surge in Pune Due to Water Contamination

Imagine your liver is like a super-cleaner for your body.

Hepatitis A is a germ that makes the liver sick.

In Pune, India, many people are getting it because of dirty water, especially during the rainy season.

The illness spreads when you eat or drink something with tiny bits of poop in it.

Usually, it's not too bad, but this year, more people are getting very sick, and some need help from doctors.

You can prevent this by washing your hands, drinking clean water, and getting a shot called a vaccine.
