Best Answer

Cholera is a disease that is spread by contaminated water, particulary, by water that is contaminated by human sewage. If water is properly treated, it will not spread cholera and the disease will be prevented.
In countries with good medical services, it's quite easy to prevent, or if it does break out, to deal with cholera. In Zimbabwe, which has ceased operating as a rational country, it is impossible to prevent cholera and very hard to stop it, since medical services have broken down, and only the charity of other peoples is available to combat it.
These instructions are generally used for the prevention of cholera and hope that it will be useful for you:

A)Stay away from raw or undercooked fish or seafood. Be sure to eat and drink from hotels and restaurants, being careful to avoid street vendors.

B)Drink only water that you know is boiled, chlorine or iodine treated. Tea and coffee must contain this same treated water. Soft drinks and other carbonated bottled drinks are okay as long as you avoid ice.

C)Eat foods and vegetables, which are cooked thoroughly and still hot. Eat only fruit you peeled yourself. Avoid raw, uncooked salads and any food that's been washed with untreated water.

D)Bring no food possibly contaminated back into the United States, including perishable seafood or raw fruit or vegetables.
