Cholera is a dreadful disease caused by unsanitary conditions found along rivers which pioneers stopped to camp at. It is caused by contaminated water. They do human waste on the rivers and they drank the water. They threw animal carcasses on the river which they drank. They threw food on the rivers which caused the water in river to turn into an contaminated water which they drank caused cholera. Sadly, the emigrants did not realize that they will get cholera from the contaminated water.

∙ 15y agoPrevention of cholera requires adequate sanitation facilities. A vaccine against the illness has been developed, but it is not very effective. People who travel in areas where cholera is widespread should not drink the local water. In addition, they should cook all foods that may have been exposed to water.

How do you stop cholera epidemic?
To stop the cholera epidemic, you need to attack the cholera on two fronts. One is to stop the spread of cholera and second is to treat the patients of cholera. Chlorination of water is the best method to make the water safe for drinking. For chlorination to be effective, the water need to be free from the organic material. You go for super-chlorination in cholera epidemic. Food should be freshly cooked to eat. Second in treatment of the cholera patients. If the patient of cholera dies, you may create the panic in the minds of people and they can run to other towns to create the new foci of cholera epidemic. So you need to isolate the patients to some convenient place, like school. You have to treat the patient aggressively, with intravenous fluids as well as with oral re-hydration solution. You need to seek cooperation from all the sections of the community. Quality of leadership makes all the difference. With proper and confident management you can stop the cholera epidemic, rather dramatically.
