Cholera is a dangerous infectious disease caused by the bacteria Vibrio cholerae. It spreads mainly through drinking contaminated water or eating food prepared with dirty water. The infection leads to severe watery diarrhea and vomiting, which can cause dehydration very quickly if not treated. Cholera is common in places with poor sanitation, dirty water sources, or improper waste disposal. The best prevention is good hygiene: drinking clean water, washing hands regularly, cooking food well, and keeping the environment clean. Treatment focuses on replacing lost fluids with oral rehydration solutions and, in severe cases, using antibiotics. Cholera is serious but preventable ...... clean water and good hygiene remain the strongest protection.
