4 Ways To Prevent Typhoid Fever Infection Without Using Drugs

EDITOR’S PICK: 

Typhoid fever is a worldwide threat which affects about 27 million lives or more every year. That’s why experts are always advising people, especially those who live in a developing country like Nigeria to work towards preventing this illness.

Our best option is to stay away from foods and drinks contaminated with typhoid-causing bacteria and infected persons. Even vaccines can only partially prevent typhoid.

Well, in this article on EKO HOT BLOG we would be looking at some ways to prevent Typhoid infection without using drugs.

1. Wash your hands often

Washing your hands in hot, soapy water is the best way to control this infection and should be carried out countless times daily especially if you’re staying in an area where typhoid fever is prevalent. Wash your hands before preparing or eating meals too.

2. Don’t drink untreated water

Many people just carelessly drink any water they find around them, whether clean or not. That is unsafe especially if you’re living in areas where typhoid fever infection is high. It is safer to drink only canned or bottled water, carbonated drinks, wine and beer.

3. Stay away from raw fruits and vegetables

These commodities might have been washed with contaminated water. Don’t eat fruits or vegetables you can’t peel without properly washing them.

4. Eat more hot foods

Foods stored or served at room temperature might be harbouring typhoid-causing bacteria so it is better to say away from them.

Eat foods hot or warm. It is advisable to avoid street vendors who are likely to have bad hygiene.
