TYPHOID ALERT!

Usually vomit and diarrhoea with or without fever.
It can be very serious especially in the very young, old and immune compromised.

It can be treated with:
Azithromycin for 3 days, hydration electrolytes and fever meds.

The Ministry of Water and Sanitation (DWS) has commended the swift action undertaken by the City of Tshwane (CoT), DWS, and the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) following the recent typhoid cases reported in the Hammanskraal and Bronkhorstspruit areas.

NOTE TO TRAVELLERS:
MALARIA season is on.
PROPHYLAXIS highly suggested when visiting a malaria area always. PS: it does not mask symptoms! Unless you do not take your meds correctly or if you vomited the meds out. The meds must be in your body to work.
PROTECTION FROM BITES: Peaceful sleep, Tabard, mozzie nets, window bug covers, aircon and fans can help.
