    Viruses use the resources of host organisms like humans to multiply, causing the host's cells to die. Viruses cannot multiply on their own and need a living host. Hepatitis A is a dangerous virus found in some foods like seafood and products from rivers. It can cause jaundice, fever, and vomiting. Once infected, a person will never be cured of hepatitis A. Proper hygiene and avoiding raw uncertified oysters and river products can prevent infection. HIV causes AIDS and ultimately death by destroying the immune system. It is rarely transmitted by food as the virus dies quickly outside the body, but is transmitted through sexual contact, blood contact, or wounds.

    organisms damage.

    They need other organisms to develop


    themselves. They multiply causing living cells of for example
    the humans to die. The virus uses further all recourses of the
    “host”, like water, air, temperature etc. etc. Viruses cannot
    multiply

    when they are in our food, but they can stay alive. In most
    cases viruses die when heating the products up. Cold
    environments do not damage the viruses, they stay alive,
    but will not multiply so fast. A famous virus that is especially
    in Asia a huge disaster is the “hepatitis A” The virus attacks
    the liver and can stand heating. It is know to cause general
    tiredness, fever, and throwing up. Also the color of the skin
    will turn yellow. Mostly the virus is in seafood, but can also
    be in other products,

    however that chance is smaller. The most dangerous are


    river products, where the risk is even more higher than sea
    products.
    Once infected with hepatitis A, you will most likely never
    cure again. To prevent you from getting this virus, do the
    following;
    - maintain good personal hygiene
    - use only certified seafood, and not from the river
    - avoid eating uncertified oysters raw
    - do not allow people with the virus to work
    - after a visit to the toilet, wash your hands properly

    Another dangerous virus is the so called HIV. This virus will


    cause AIDS, where in most cases you will die from, because
    the virus destroys the natural protection systems of your
    body, and you will get numerous diseases that can lead to
    death. The chance that you will get HIV infection by food is
    extremely small, as when the virus stays outside of the body,
    it will die very fast. The virus is transferable by sexual
    contacts, blood contact or other body contact where wounds
    are openly exposed. The virus get killed if heated up to 60
    gr. C, and also the stomach juices kill this virus.
