∙ 11y agoTyphoid is very contagious. An infected person can pass the bacteria out of their body in their excrement when they have an intestine movement or, less commonly, when they urinate. If someone else eats food or drinks water that has been contaminated with a small amount of infected excrement or urine, they can catch typhoid. Polluted water is the most common source. That's why typhoid is a worrying problem in disaster areas, where water supply and sewage disposal are disrupted.
