Wanted: Typhoid Fever
Also goes by the name of Salmonella Typhimurium
Salmonella Typhimurium
Mugshot #1
Mugshot #2
Attacks
The bacterium can either infect the circulatory system, or the digestive system.
The bacterium is transmitted by consuming foods or drinks contaminated with the bacteria.
Victims
Chefs working in developing countries have a good chance of being attacked, for they might taste food that is used by contaminated water.
Crime
The bacterium is also wanted for damaging the victim by causing ulcers and bleeding in the bowel, and also by causing osteitis, cholecytis, and hepatitis in rare cases.
Hideout
- Raw Foods
- Contaminated Water
- Feces
The bacterium also hides out in developing countries, so the more industrialized, the less chance of getting the Salmonella Typhimurium bacteria.
Weapons
To prevent an attack, be sure to be vaccinated with the ViCPS, or the Ty21a vaccinations. Also be sure to wash hands and raw foods thoroughly before eating. (Veggies, fruits, raw meat)
