A person becomes affected by cholera primarily through the ingestion of contaminated water or food that contains the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The bacteria produce a toxin that leads to severe diarrhea and dehydration, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Poor sanitation and lack of access to clean drinking water are significant risk factors for cholera outbreaks. Once infected, symptoms can appear within a few hours to five days, emphasizing the need for quick intervention.
