Cholera

Cholera is a disease, characterised by profuse, watery diarrhoea, caused by certain toxin-producing forms of the bacteria called Vibrio cholera. Cholera is transmitted by ingesting (eating and drinking) contaminated water or food. It is common in many low-income countries and is largely linked to poverty, bad sanitation and poor access to clean drinking water.

Symptoms

Cholera can be mild or occur without symptoms in healthy individuals. Symptoms include sudden, profuse, watery diarrhoea with associated nausea and vomiting. If untreated, cholera can rapidly lead to serious dehydration and shock; fifty percent of those with serious complications, die. With quick and effective treatment, risk of dying is less than one percent.

Prevention

Avoid all water that isn’t bottled unless you know it’s been boiled or disinfected. This includes ice, which is very common in spreading cholera.
Avoid raw food. As with the water, heat can remove the dangerous bacteria. Your safest bet is any food that’s been cooked very recently.
Show caution when swimming in open bodies of water. If there’s no bathroom nearby, some people may have resorted to doing this outside and near the water. Swimming in water that’s infected with feces is already unwanted, but made far worse with the risk of cholera.
Know where the nearest medical facility is. Overpopulated regions that are far from these facilities are most susceptible to an outbreak.
