Question

symptoms of cholera is diarrhea and vometing. what causes cholera??

Answer 1

Cholera is an infectious disease that causes severe watery diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and even death if untreated. It is caused by eating food or drinking water contaminated with a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae.

Answer 2

• A bacterium called Vibrio cholerae causes cholera infection.
• The deadly effects of the disease are the result of a toxin the bacteria produces in the small intestine.
• The toxin causes the body to secrete enormous amounts of water, leading to diarrhea and a rapid loss of fluids and salts (electrolytes).
