Need Help New

Hi,
  I live on the Jersey Shore. I am curious if there is a way to find out if any reports of Hep C have been reported in the Navesink or Shrewsbury Rivers? I have read that you can contract Hep C from raw clams? Any help so appreciated. TY

I've had both Hepatitis A and C.  Got through both.  It's not as bad as you're probably imagining.
