typhoid is communicable or noncommunicable disease - #28363
I am really confused about this whole typhoid issue. About a week ago, my cousin came down with a fever, which turned out to be typhoid. It was kinda scary seeing how quickly he was feeling super sick and then got diagnosed. I didn’t think it was a big deal at first, but now I’m looking into it more. I've heard people say that typhoid is communicable or noncommunicable disease, but it’s kinda all over the place in what people are claiming. Like, do I really have to worry about it spreading to me or my family? We all hang out a lot, and I’m starting to panic a bit. My cousin’s been pretty isolated since the diagnosis, but I don’t know how long that should last. I mean, how can I be sure that typhoid isn’t going to be something that spreads to us? And what about his recovery? Are there things we should definitely avoid doing together while he’s getting better? If typhoid is communicable, does it only spread through food or water? Ugh, it’s just all getting really overwhelming! Any advice or insights would be super helpful!
