No you cannot and whoever told you that must have breathed so many poop fumes that they no longer think rationally. Nose plugs work well for that affliction.
Hepc is transmitted through blood to blood contact.

Hepatitis A can be transmitted via oral-fecal contact; it is very different than Hep C. If you have concerns, a vaccine for HAV is available,

The only way you can get HCV is blood to blood contamination. If the person your taking care of has an open sore or cut (bleeding) You would take precautions not to get any of their blood into a cut or sore that you have.
This poster also sent me a private message and was very gracious, as well as sincere. Let’s give her a break here,
