Cholera is a severe diarrhoeal disease caused by consuming food or water contaminated with the Vibrio cholerae bacterium. It is most common in regions with poor sanitation and limited access to clean drinking water, making it a significant risk for travellers to certain parts of the world.
Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal disease caused by ingesting contaminated water or food. It can spread rapidly in areas with poor sanitation, particularly during floods, natural disasters, or in refugee camps.
Symptoms of Cholera
While many infected individuals experience no symptoms, severe cases can lead to:
Watery diarrhoea (often referred to as "rice-water stools")
Vomiting
Severe dehydration
Weakness and muscle cramps
If untreated, cholera can lead to severe complications, including death, due to dehydration. Prompt medical care and rehydration are critical in managing the disease.
