Cholera is an acute illness that involves intestinal infection caused by bacteria named Vibrio Cholera. It is a bacterial infection spread by drinking contaminated water. Cholera causes dehydration and severe diarrhea. Even if the cholera bacteria do not cause illness in everyone exposed, individuals pass the bacteria in their stool, contaminating food and water supplies. The infection is mild and asymptomatic in most cases. However, death may also occur within a few hours from complications if proper treatment is not provided in severe disease.
