Hey there, time traveller!

SECHELT – Vancouver Coastal Health says people who ate salads at a Sechelt, B.C., pizza restaurant in the last month may have been exposed to hepatitis A.
The notification about possible exposure at Pepper Creek Pizza & Pasta on the Sunshine Coast Highway comes a day after a similar warning at a food truck in nearby Gibsons.
The health authority says people who consumed cooked foods at the pizza restaurant aren’t at risk, but those who ate a salad there between July 31 and Aug. 14 and also between Aug. 23 and 29 should get vaccinated as soon as possible.
The notification says the vaccine can prevent infection within two weeks of exposure.
A notification issued Thursday concerned food consumed from the Sea Monkey Coffee food truck that was located at the Sunday Cider bar between Aug. 1 and 25.
Both notifications say transmission risk is low, but people should monitor for symptoms of the liver condition including fatigue, loss of appetite, inexplicable weight loss, pain under the rib cage, muscle soreness or jaundice, which causes yellowing of the skin or eyes.
