Answer 2

Cholera is caused by  bacterium Vibrio cholera  simply known as V. cholera.

Cholera is an infection by bacteria. These bacteria were discovered in 1883. The German bacteriologist Robert Koch (1843–1910) studied the disease during an epidemic in Egypt. He found a bacterium in the intestines of those who died of cholera but could neither isolate the organism nor infect the animals.

Cholera is often spread through food and due to poor hygiene. Some simple measures can reduce the risk of cholera contraction.

• Hand washing is important to prevent the spread of the disease.
• It is important when traveling in areas where the disease is endemic:
• Eat only the fruit avoid salads, raw fish, and uncooked vegetables.
• Make sure the food is cooked well.
• Make sure the water is bottled or boiled and safe to consume.
• Avoid street food, as it can cause cholera and other diseases.

A person suffering from cholera can quickly lose fluids, up to20 liters a day, so severe dehydration and shock can occur.

Signs of dehydration include:

• Loose skin
• sunken eyes
• dry mouth
• Less secretion, for example, less sweating
• fast heartbeat
• Low blood pressure
• Dizziness or anemia
• Rapid weight log
