Hepatitis A or immune globulin (IG). Transmission of hepatitis A virus can occur through direct person-to-person contact; through exposure to contaminated water, ice, or shellfish harvested in contaminated water; or from fruits, vegetables, or other foods that are eaten uncooked and that were contaminated during harvesting or subsequent handling.[ed note] Which also includes dishes washed and rinsed in cold water..
Hepatitis B, especially if you might be exposed to blood or body fluids (for example, health-care workers), have sexual contact with the local population, or be exposed through medical treatment. Hepatitis B vaccine is now recommended for all infants and for children ages 11–12 years who did not receive the series as infants.
Typhoid, particularly if you are visiting developing countries in this region. Typhoid fever can be contracted through contaminated drinking water or food, or by eating food or drinking beverages that have been handled by a person who is infected. Large outbreaks are most often related to fecal contamination of water supplies or foods sold by street vendors
Mostly all water from ponds is contaminated with fecal matter or coliform because during heavy rains or flooding all houses have cess pools that are just raw sewerage containers and will overflow and this overflow is mixed into the water and gets into ponds where shrimp or fish are raised and sold for human food, we have a 7 rai pond where such things happen and where fish are raised and sold in the market. There also happens to be a sand clay layer down 4 meters and all the cess pools [which average 3 meters deep] run along at that depth because of the clay layer they can go no lower and this water is fed into the wells here as well as the ponds because and there is no water below that as I drilled 160 meter and never hit water.
