About Typhoid:
    Typhoid Fever is a disease caused by the bacteria Salmonella Typhi. It is spread through food and water. Usually, it's spread through either exposure to raw sewage that has feces from a "carrier", or it is spread from being exposed to food or beverage that has been handled by a carrier. Countries such as lower class African countries, or lower class South American countries are exposed to Typhoid Fever more frequently because handwashing is less frequent and raw sewage is exposed more to people. Once inside, Salmonella Typhi will spread through the blood stream and infect the whole body.

Two Companies we contacted are:
  • The CDC
  • Rand Water
