Typhoid is the correct answer. Typhoid is a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria. It is primarily spread through the consumption of contaminated food or water. When food or water is contaminated with the feces or urine of an infected person, the bacteria can be ingested and cause infection. This can happen if proper hygiene practices, such as handwashing, are not followed during food preparation or if the food is not cooked thoroughly. Symptoms of typhoid include fever, headache, stomach pain, and diarrhea. In severe cases, it can lead to complications such as intestinal perforation or even death. It is important to ensure that food is prepared and handled hygienically to prevent the spread of typhoid.
