Typhoid Fever

by  Alani Guzman  & Justin Cubilete

Typhoid Fever, also known as Salmonella Typhi, is a bacteria that is caused when humans or animals consume any type of food or beverage that is contaminated by the urine or feces of humans or animals.



Typhoid Fever is most common on the East Coast of the United States and almost all of Europe.



The side effects to typhoid fever are deadly and not so deadly . The infected person may think he/she has contracted the flu or severe cold. An instant headache occurs during this process. 


As I said before there is a dangerous part to this. The dangerous part of it is that it slows down your heart rate so at any given moment you can collapse. another dangerous side effect is that your stomach starts to bleed and your intestines could blow up/explode inside of you. the only part you could physically see on your body when you have typhoid fever is rosy spots on your arms and legs.


Now all those symptoms aren't going to stay with you for ever. Theres a cure!

In 1851 a scientist by the name of William Jenner created a vaccine that would cure typhoid fever. William did not give this vaccine a name.





Vaccination isnt the only way you could cure it. you could also cure typhoid fever by tremenous feeding.



If you want to prevent typhoid fever make sure you always have proper sanitation of food water and other resources.



By this point you may be wondering. What is typhoid fever! And how did it even get here!


Well heres the history behind it.




Around 430-424  BC, a devestating plague which some believe to have been "typhoid fever, killed one third of the population of Athens, including their lead Pericles. The balance of power shifted from Athens to Sparta, ending the Golden Age of Pericles that ahd marked Athenian dominance in the ancient world.





and that, is typhoid fever
