8. Prevention

One of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of typhus fever is to maintain high safety standards. This means washing hands regularly, especially after using the bathroom and before preparing food. Hand sanitizers will give extra protection against bacteria.

When travelling in certain parts of the world, make sure to eat hot foods only. Also try and avoid eating food from street vendors. Raw fruits and vegetables should also be avoided in case they have been washed in contaminated water. Also try and avoid drinking any water that is not treated; bottled drinking water is usually the safest option.
