In fact jaundice is a water borne disease and not infectious. The other family member,drinking the same water,might not contact jaundice due to body resistance power. But once contacted, the patient should take boiled water and other precautions as prescribed by the doctor, as the whole digestive system gets damaged and it takes atleast six months for full recovery.
