When drinking fountains were first created they used to shoot "water one inch straight into the air, creating a bubbling texture, and the excess water" used to run "back down over the sides of the nozzle" (wikipedia) This was definitely an easy way to convey deseases. However, after a while, the production of drinking fountains started adopting an arc projection, which made it easier for the person to drink and made it more sanitary. Nowdays the jet of water goes as far as four inches in order to avoid infections and bacterial transmission.

Liver disease, in and of itself, is not contagious. If the Liver is diseased as a result of the Hepatitis C virus which IS contagious.... That's your answer. I hope that makes sense!
New medications for hepatitis are available now. Many people show no signs of the disease after the eight week treatment. Good luck!!

Shingles are they contagious?
The virus is spread through direct contact with fluid from the rash blisters caused by shingles. A person with active shingles can spread the virus when the rash is in the blister-phase. A person is not infectious before the blisters appear. Once the rash has developed crusts, the person is no longer contagious.17 Sep 2014

Can I pass scarlet fever from one child to another if I see them a day apart?
Probably not.
How to prevent scarlet fever from spreading The rash itself is not contagious. Still, scarlet fever can spread easily to family members and your child's classmates if your child sneezes, coughs or exhales near them. Any child or adult who lives in your home and has similar symptoms in the next five days after exposure should have a throat swab.
Your child is no longer contagious after they have been on antibiotics for 24 hours. That means your child can return to school after one day if they are feeling better.

Other tips to prevent spreading the infection include:

  • washing hands with warm soapy water
  • not sharing drinking glasses or eating utensils with friends or classmates
  • washing your child's dining utensils and drinking glasses in hot soapy water or a dishwasher
  • sneezing into the elbow or covering the mouth and nose when coughing.
