Cholera is a disease caused by Vibrio cholerae bacteria, it is characterized by diarrhea and often spread through contaminated water or food.

Prevention focuses on:
1. Boil or treat water:
Ensure drinking water is either boiled or treated with chlorine, iodine, or a water filter that removes particles smaller than 0.3 microns.

2. Store boiled or treated water in clean, covered containers to prevent recontamination.

3. Do not drink from potentially contaminated sources like open wells or streams.

4. Hand washing:
Wash hands frequently with soap and clean water, especially before eating, after using the toilet, and after handling food.

5. Ensure food is thoroughly cooked, avoid raw fruits and vegetables unless washed and peeled yourself.

6. Oral Cholera Vaccine (OCV): offers protection for up to two years after the initial vaccination schedule.

Symptoms include:

1. Severe diarrhea (often referred to as rice-water stool)
2. Vomiting
3. Dehydration
4. Electrolyte imbalance

Treatment includes:

1. Oral rehydration therapy
2. Antibiotics
3. Intravenous fluids
