How does typhoid spread?
Can I get typhoid if someone had it and they cooked a meal which I ate? Is it easily transmitted? I have mild nausea since coming in contact with an infected person.

Yes. Typhoid is spread by oro-faecal route. If your food handler had Typhoid recently then he should not be a food handler.

Be aware of Contaminated Food and water source .. Typhoid carrier person can also spread.. You can think of taking typhoid vaccine if u r getting recurrent typhoid infection.. Visit to ur nearest hospital for that
