Which form of hepatitis is the most difficult to kill on a surface?

Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis C
Hepatitis E

The correct answer is: Hepatitis A

Hepatitis B is known to be the most resilient form of hepatitis, especially in terms of its ability to survive on surfaces. It can remain infectious for several days outside the body, making it a significant concern in environments such as salons where blood exposure may occur. This resilience is attributed to its encapsulated nature, which provides a protective layer against many disinfectants and environmental factors. In contrast, Hepatitis A and E are generally less hardy once exposed to the environment and are typically more susceptible to standard cleaning and disinfection methods. Hepatitis C, while it can also be present in similar contexts, does not demonstrate the same level of resistance as Hepatitis B. Understanding these differences is crucial for infection control practices in cosmetology settings.
