A member asked:
Do you need to disinfect anything after/during an episode of typhoid? if so, what all things should be disinfected apart from beddings etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Typhoid is caused by a Salmonella bacterium. Transmitted generally in drinking water, possibly food, etc. You can disinfect bed sheets, but simple good hygiene and avoidance of contamination are most effective.
