Health / What Causes Typhoid by Joybank_ng    2 weeks ago
Typhoid fever is caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. It spreads mainly through contaminated food and water. Below are the main causes:

1. Contaminated Food & Water
• Drinking unclean water (from rivers, wells, or untreated sources).
• Eating food handled by an infected person.
• Consuming raw or undercooked food washed in contaminated water.

2. Poor Sanitation & Hygiene
• Lack of proper handwashing after using the toilet.
• Using toilets near water sources, allowing bacteria to spread.
• Eating food from unhygienic street vendors.

3. Direct Contact with an Infected Person
• Sharing utensils, food, or drinks with someone who has typhoid.
• Being in close contact with chronic carriers (people who have recovered but still carry the bacteria).

4. Flies & Poor Waste Disposal
• Flies can transfer Salmonella Typhi from contaminated feces to food.
• Improper disposal of human waste increases the risk of contamination.
