Default Re: Salmonella typhi and typhoid fever - Typhoid can be prevented

Just want to added several more:
1.Avoid eating risky foods and drinks.
2.washing hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the toilet, before handling food, and before eating.
3.Get vaccinated against typhoid fever especially for persons who are going to travel to countries where there is a risk of exposure to Salmonella typhi.
Also recommended for persons living in a household with a typhoid fever carrier.
