within hours or days. T he symptoms include extremely
watery diarrhoea that is whitish in colour, like the colour of
water from cooking rice. Cholera diarrhoea is painless,
there are no cramps or other pains like other cases of
diarrhoea. T here is no fever associated with Cholera and
vomiting is common. Cholera does not cause blood in the
faeces. 80 % of infected people get either mild, normal

best form of Cholera prevention is to establish good
sanitation and waste treatment systems. In the absence of
adequate sewage treatment, follow these simple rules: if

other tips: Always try to defecate in a sanitary place, and

washing or watering their crops. You save water to wash
your hands and wash your hands after going to the toilet.
Also wash your hands before cooking or preparing food.
Don’t eat food that you can’t trust. Fruits that can be
peeled, such as bananas and oranges are fine, but
remember to wash your hands with soap before peeling
them. T ry to drink save water only. Ideally it will have been
boiled for three minutes. If this is too difficult even filtering
the water through a cloth greatly reduces the chance of
Cholera. T he ideal cloth is a fine woven cloth. But a cotton
sheet or t-shirt folded over 8-10 times might be the best
you can do. Most people who are infected with Cholera
have no symptoms but are still excreting their germs in
their normal stool. So always be careful.
