The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is holding clinics over
the weekend for consumers who may have been exposed to hepatitis through
frozen berries sold at Costco.
At least 30 cases of hepatitis A nationwide may be linked to Townsend Farms
Organic Antioxidant Blend frozen berries, including seven confirmed
illnesses in California by people who consumed the berries. One of those was
in Los Angeles County, two in San Bernardino County and one each in
Riverside, San Diego and Humboldt counties, health department officials said.
Another possible case in Los Angeles County is under investigation.
Costco has removed the product from stores.
Health officials recommended that people who may have been exposed to the
virus within the last 14 days get an IG shot or hepatitis A vaccination to
prevent or reduce illness. Close contacts and sexual partners of those
infected with the virus may also be at risk.
The incubation period for the disease is two to seven weeks, health
officials said. Symptoms include jaundice, fatigue, light-colored stools,
fever, loss of appetite, abdominal cramps, vomiting and dark-colored urine.
The health department will offer preventive treatment at special clinics
from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the following locations:
--Antelope Valley Health Center, 335 Avenue K-6, Lancaster;
--North Hollywood Health Center, 5300 Tujunga Ave., North Hollywood;
--Monrovia Health Center, 330 W. Maple Ave., Monrovia;
--Hollywood Wilshire Health Center, 5205 Melrose Ave., Hollywood;
--Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Public Health, 11833 S. Wilmington Ave.,
Willowbrook;
