Hepatitis barber: 37 F from Abu Dhabi asks: Can Hepatitis be transmitted through barber shop tool even if no cut in the skin? ANS: No. Well unless you lick the barber tools or you touch them and them place your hands in your mouth but then it depends on which type of hepatitis you are talking about. Best to ask a local Abu Dhabi Dr about this.
