Hi, This disease is not contageous. You can get your blood tested for serum bilirubin and urine for bile salts and bile pigments to rule out jaundice . Follow these precautions: - Maintain personnel hygiene like washing hands thoroughly with soap before eating and after attending to the nature calls. - Avoid eating roadside food which are unhygienic. - Wash vegetables before cooking and wash the fruits before consuming. - Drink only purified water. - Keep the eatables covered to avoid flies sitting on them and contaminating it.
