Typhoid is a deadly disease that effects the lungs heart and stomach
I suggest reverting to 18:12, 19 November 2006 Irongargoyle, page currently has "...is a dog..." instead of "...is a disease..." Also, the dates of the sources are messed up.
A few Q's and not enough A's
First, what age group is mostly affected by Typhoid fever? And in what cases is the vaccine used and not used? Thanks to anyone who helps me out!
First off I will admit I am not a doctor and this only what I have found through my own personal research. From what I have found Typhoid fever will infect almost all age groups, but it is more deadly among the young and elderly. Also those with chronic illnesses are less likely to survive an infection. I have not found information on which cases the vaccine is nessecary, but I will assume (once again based on my research) that those that are more prone to infection would be given a vaccine.

History/Direct transmission and carriers
The first paragraph states "Although typhoid is not spread through milk itself...". According to Mayo Clinic and multiple US state and local health department websites, typhoid can be spread through milk and milk products. Geewildman (talk) 20:04, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
