An estimated
2.9
million cases
of cholera
occur worldwide each year.4
Enjoying the local fare when you travel is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in a culture. However, it could put you at risk for cholera, a potentially life-threatening disease.3
Cholera is an intestinal infection most commonly caused by the bacteria Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1.3 You can get cholera by eating food or drinking water that has been contaminated with fecal matter from people who have been infected with the bacteria.3 Symptoms include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and severe dehydration, which, if left untreated, can be deadly.3
Since you often don't know how sanitary cooking conditions may be when traveling, it's smart to do all you can to help protect yourself.
It is estimated that cholera is regularly found in
69 countries, primarily in Africa,
Asia, and the Caribbean.4
