Information about Cholera and preventing it : Quotes from the web, and good web links

Steps to Avoid Cholera:

  • Drinking only water that has been boiled or treated with chlorine or iodine. Other safe drinks include tea and coffee made with boiled water and bottled soft drinks served with no ice.
  • Eating only foods that have been thoroughly cooked and are still hot. Also safe are fruits that a person peels himself just before eating.
  • Avoiding other raw fruits and vegetables, including salads.
  • Not eating undercooked or raw shellfish or fish.
  • Not buying foods or drinks from street vendors.
  • Not bringing perishable seafood back to un-infected areas and countries.
