Natalie Cole was recently diagnosed with Hepatitis C.
According to her doctor:
“Natalie has had a terrific response to her medication and is now virus negative,” Woolf, the Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said. “This gives her an increased chance of cure.”

hepatitis virus is usually carried by blood with the exception of Hepatitis A virus which can be acquired through contaminated food. I am particulary concerned about the local barbershop who does not properly sterilize the hair cutting tools and shaving tools. Razor blades which come in contact with infected blood can transmit the virus in the next customer.
