​Cholera

Cholera is a bacterial disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which is contained and spread in contaminated water and food. This infectious disease usually displays mild symptoms of diarrhoea​ and dehydration; however it could also result in severe symptoms and even be fatal in a matter of a few hours due to dehydration if left untreated or not treated promptly.

Cholera is easily preventable, and it is also easily treatable with a simple and inexpensive rehydration solution.
