What Is Typhoid Fever?
10. Typhoid Fever Preventative Measures
Even with a vaccine, precautions are necessary. Frequent handwashing is critical, as is taking measures to ensure safe eating and drinking. Do not drink water from the tap; buy bottled water only. When you order drinks other than water, make sure you ask for no ice, unless you are certain the ice has been made with bottled or boiled water.
Do not eat fresh foods that you cannot peel. Even when washed with bottled water, lettuce can still carry the bacteria. Only consume food that has been thoroughly cleaned and cooked well. If it isn’t still steaming hot, don’t eat it.
