"Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria. Typhoid fever is rare in industrialized countries. However, it remains a serious health threat in the developing world, especially for children. Typhoid fever spreads through contaminated food and water or through close contact with someone who's infected. Signs and symptoms usually include high fever, headache, abdominal pain, and either constipation or diarrhea." This quote comes from the Mayo Clinic web page about Typhoid Fever

Typhoid is fecal contamination via food/water supply. It is not spread person to person like the flu-- eg sleeping in close proximity Footnote [6]
