Others are aware of their surroundings and express their emotions.
If one parent has Huntington’s disease, you have a 50 percent chance of having it. A blood test can tell if you have the HD gene and if you develop the disease. Genetic counseling can help you weigh the risks and benefits of undergoing the analysis.
There is no cure. Medicines can help control some symptoms, but can not delay or stop the disease.

* Drinking water contaminated
HAV can cause swelling of the liver, but rarely causes lasting damage. The infected person may feel like you have the flu or have no symptoms. It usually gets better on its own after a few weeks.
The hepatitis A vaccine can prevent infection with HAV. Healthy habits can also make a difference. Wash your hands before preparing food, after using the bathroom or changing a diaper. International travelers should be careful not to drink tap water.
