Cholera Prevention

Avoid Raw Foods

The first and most important way to prevent cholera is to avoid eating raw foods. This means you should only consume fully cooked veggies or meat, particularly when you travel to another country or affected area. The best way to do this is to cook the meal yourself. In case you eat out, make sure to ask the waiters how the dishes are prepared. For fruits, you should wash them with clean water and choose those options with protective layers such as orange, passion fruit, or papaya. [13]
