Which hepatitis is not bloodborne?

I'm learning about infectious diseases in my biology class and we're discussing hepatitis. I'm trying to clarify something: which type of hepatitis is not transmitted through blood?

Namaste. From my understanding, Hepatitis A and E are usually transmitted through contaminated food and water, not blood. Maintaining good hygiene, especially washing hands, and eating fresh, clean food can help prevent these. Keep your internal system clean, like your thoughts.

Bete, my grandmother used to say that some diseases come from what we eat and drink, not always from cuts or injections. I think Hepatitis A and E are like that, spread by bad water or food. Always boil your water and eat fresh home-cooked meals, it's a good habit anyway.

Hepatitis A and E are typically spread through contaminated food or water, not blood. Just be careful about what you eat outside and make sure to wash your hands properly. Stay safe.

Generally speaking, Hepatitis A and E are the types that are transmitted via the fecal-oral route, meaning through contaminated food and water, not directly through blood. However, for a precise understanding and any health concerns, a doctor's consultation is always advisable.

I'm not a doc, so can't give medical advice, but I remember my mom saying to be super careful with street food because of 'some' hepatitis that spreads through unhygienic food and water. I think she meant A or E, but please verify with a doctor if you need exact info.
