Here are seven ways to avoid typhoid fever:

 

#1 If you must use local water, be sure to boil or otherwise purify it.

 

#2 Drink sealed, bottled water from a reputable source, and avoid brands you do not recognize.

 

#3 Remember to only use ice that made from bottled or boiled water. Avoid popsicles or flavoured ice.

 

#4 Ensure all food is cooked thoroughly and served steamingly hot.

 

#5 Avoid all fruits and vegetables that you have not peeled yourself.

 

#6 Avoid food and drinks from street vendors. Frequent hand washing is always a good strategy to prevent disease.

 

#7 More importantly, get vaccinated against typhoid fever either through the oral or injectable form.

 

Typhoid is a relatively common infection among international travellers. If you return from a trip and fall ill, visit a health care provider immediately. Be sure to supply him or her with a complete schedule of your trip.
