Humans carry this bacterium in their bloodstream and intestinal tract, where it leaves the body through feces. Once this bacterium enters the bloodstream, it is accompanied by fever and other common signs of illness that lead it be occasionally confused with other infections. The typhoid bacterium can eat away at the intestinal tract to the point where perforations can occur, leading to chronic pain and agonizing death if not treated in haste.]]> 2018-04-16 14:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kuforijs/6jhuox48z14q/wish/252179917 kuforijs https://padlet.com/kuforijs/6jhuox48z14q/wish/252185516 2018-04-16 15:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kuforijs/6jhuox48z14q/wish/252185516 kuforijs https://padlet.com/kuforijs/6jhuox48z14q/wish/252188035 2018-04-16 15:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kuforijs/6jhuox48z14q/wish/252188035 kuforijs https://padlet.com/kuforijs/6jhuox48z14q/wish/252192511 Cases of Typhoid Fever severely plummeted  when filtration systems through chlorination were installed into various cities that were known for their lack of sanitation. Vaccinations were also introduced into the military during World War 1, where solders lined up fro shots that gave them resistances to the illness. This vaccination was later improved in London, and became a stepping stone for later antibiotics that allowed America to suppress and drastically to reduce the number of fatalities from this disease. ]]> 2018-04-16 15:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kuforijs/6jhuox48z14q/wish/252192511 kuforijs https://padlet.com/kuforijs/6jhuox48z14q/wish/252200076 In recent years since 2004, Typhoid Fever is shown to have developed resistances against several antibiotics commonly used for it, such as the well recognized Chloramphenicol drug. This further emphasizes that one should not use antibiotics excessively, as they are made to be a last line defense, not quick fixes to annoying colds.]]> 2018-04-16 15:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kuforijs/6jhuox48z14q/wish/252200076 kuforijs https://padlet.com/kuforijs/6jhuox48z14q/wish/252600365                Though it is dangerous, and preventable through sanitation and cleanliness, Typhoid Fever is not a serious or not threatening condition to all people infected by it. Approximately 3-5% of those infected with this illness become carriers of the disease who chronically carry it in their body, cultivating, and producing millions of the bacterium in their feces. The most well-known and widely criminalized carrier of Typhoid bacterium was "Typhoid Mary", an Irish immigrant brought into captivity twice by the authorities, dying at age 69 from pneumonia after 27 years on Rhode Island.]]> 2018-04-17 14:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kuforijs/6jhuox48z14q/wish/252600365
