Risk factors

It may surprise you, but what you eat and drink when you travel is a major risk factor. Raw vegetables and fruits that cannot be peeled also are the risk for causing typhoid fever. Avoiding risky foods will also help protect you from other illnesses, including travelers' diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, and hepatitis A.
