Cholera is an infectious illness that is often caused by infection of the small intestine by a Gram negative bacteria named Vibrio cholera. This bacterium is found in salty water, plants, stone shells etc.
The main cause of this particular problem is the cholera bacteria that enter the body through infected food or water intake.
Inadequate cooking and contamination by raw sea food are also considered as the main contribution factors. Cholera can be transmitted through some foods, including fruits (except sour fruits), poultry, meat, and dairy products. Fish, shellfish, crabs, oysters and clams, have all been implicated in several outbreaks.
To diminish the risk of food-borne transmission of cholera, it is highly recommended that food should be proper cooked before eating, and don't forget to wash your hands with soap and safe water before eating to reduce the risk of infection.
