A member asked:

What do you suggest if i used to get boils all the time?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Still a problem?: If so, medical assessment can help to determine the cause. At that point, a plan can be developed to help prevent this in the future.

How long do you need to boil water to get rid of S.typhi (typhoid causing bacteria)? I hear it all the time to boil the water to avoid typhoid but no one tells how long to boil. Does boiling get rid of 100% S.typhi & paratyphi & all typhoid bacteria?
