Why doesn't our own faecal bacteria not make us sick?
Our own fecal bacteria are typically kept in check by the body's immune system and the balance of other bacteria in the gut microbiome. These bacteria are adapted to live in the intestines and are usually harmless when contained there. Additionally, the gastrointestinal tract has physical barriers, like the intestinal wall, that prevent these bacteria from entering the bloodstream and causing illness. However, if these bacteria escape into other parts of the body, such as through a perforation or during surgery, they can cause infections.

The bacteria that causes typhus is Rickettsia, these are intracellular parasites - meaning that they survive within the cells of a human body. The bacteria is usually transmitted through the feces of lice and fleas. When a flea or lice carrying the bacteria bites a human, the person will usually scratch the bite - allowing the feces containing the bacteria to enter the skin, infecting that person.
What are symptoms of a puncture wound?
