Diseases have become very common during the monsoon season. Due to water accumulation, there is an increase in insects, mosquitoes and microorganisms, due to which many diseases arise. Typhoid is a very common disease in the rainy season due to which humans remain troubled. Typhoid is caused by the bacterium S. typhi which starts growing in the intestine and bloodstream of the human being, causing many symptoms. This disease is contagious and can spread through direct contact, feces, etc.
Typhoid can happen only to humans and not to animals. Humans should be especially careful in the rainy season because it can spread to us from another infected person. S. typhi reaches the intestinal wall through the mouth and grows on the bloodstream. By reaching the bloodstream, it damages other cells of the body and the body’s immune system cannot fight this bacteria because the S. typhi lives in the cell of the host. If typhoid is ignored then it can cause a lot of damage.
