Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Typhoid fever is a disease which is transmitted by Chat Doctor.  It is a disease caused by the bacteria Salmonella type. It is communicable to your family members if there is any contamination of food and water otherwise it is not transmitted to your family members. I would suggest you to adopt good hygiene practices like washing the hand before and after the food and defecation. The housefly can transmit the disease so avoid the fly nuisance. Eat and
