If typhoid fever is contracted then you must act quickly as it can be fatal. It is a very contagious bacterial infection, caused by Salmonella Typhi bacteria which is very similar to the salmonella bacteria that causes food poisoning.

An infected person can pass the bacteria out of the body in both their urine and bowel movements, and so if good hand washing techniques are not used bacteria can be easily be passed by direct contact and by eating food prepared by the infected person.

Take antibiotics as prescribed by medic.

Symptoms will include severe headaches,fever,constipation or diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain.rash,dry cough.
