TYPHOID, THE CASE FOR CONSTANT VIGILANCE
Typhoid cases number from 11 to 20 million with 120,000 to 160,000 deaths each year.[i]
Written history is riddled with stories of diseases infecting populations and spreading quickly in crowded conditions or wherever people are in close contact.
Typhoid stories can be found across the world. In Africa, during the Second Boer War before the turn of the 20th century, the British Army recorded 8,000 deaths from typhoid.[ii] There was a saying about it; that typhoid killed more troops than the battlefields. It may have been true then and for millennia before. Typhoid may have been responsible for the mass population death in Athens in 430 BC and of its famous statesman and general, Pericles. It may also be the cause of the sudden decline of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America.[iii]
