Accepted answer

Depending on your location and conduct, Enteric-type fevers can range in incidence from about 1 in a 1000 to about 1 in 100,000 visits. The disease is spread by fecal contamination from an infected human. You can get it if you eat food prepared by an infected person.

If you eat food that only you prepare your chance of being exposed to the bacteria is close to zero. If you eat food in high-quality restaurants, the chances of infection might increase to about 1 in 100,000. If you eat food in cheap, rural or unhygenic places then your chance of infection might be 1 in 10,000 or even greater.
