Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C, or Hepacivirus, is a virus that when contracted destroys the liver. The virus can never be fully cured, but people who have contracted it can take medication to control the symptoms. The virus is contracted through blood products or from mother to infant during pregnancy or nursing.
The virus was found by multiple scientists at the Centers for Disease Control, in 1989. The scientists found that Hepatitis C was the result of nearly every case of hepatitis that wasn't Hep-A or Hep-B. The Virus once contracted gets into the bloodstream and attacks the cells of the liver. It mutates the cells by fusing the virus’ fatty lipid by layer to the cell membrane. Then once it merges then the cell forms around the virus and takes
