In the summer of 1988, an outbreak of hepatitis A occurred among people who had visited Peters Creek, Alaska, and drank an ice-slush drink at the local convenience store. The drink was prepared daily with tap water from a bathroom sink using utensils stored beside the toilet. The market's employees denied having hepatitis symptoms. Four employees were tested and had no evidence of recent hepatitis infection. The remaining employee refused testing. A household contact of this employee had recent, confirmed hepatitis A infection and reported that the employee had been jaundiced.
