Zitat:

Cholera spreads when sanitation is poor.

• Organisms from sewage find their way into drinking water.

It is caught by eating or drinking something that has been contaminated by the waste of a person who has Cholera.

This disease causes 

• diarrhoea, 

• violent vomiting,

• cramp.

The victim looses liquid causing dehydration.

• The disease can kill but only if not treated straight away.
