What do you know about cholera?
Cholera is the illness caused by a bacterium called Varian cholera. If it infects people’s intestines (肠), it may cause diarrhea, vomiting and leg cramps (抽筋). The most common cause of cholera is by eating food or drinking water that has been polluted by the bacteria.
Cholera can be mild or even without symptoms, but a severe case can lead to death without immediate treatment.

An infectious disease is a disease caused by bacterial, viral, fungal, or protozoan infection. Though some infectious diseases don’t spread, others may be transmitted from animal to person (bird flu and cat scratch disease) or from person to person (MRSA, HIV, and other STDs).
How to prevent infectious diseases?
Wash your hands often, especially during cold and flu season.
Be aware of what you eat, and be careful how you prepare it.
Use antibiotics exactly as prescribed.
Be cautious around all wild and domestic animals that are not familiar to you.
Avoid areas of insect infestation.
Wash hands before meals.
Take exercise.
Eat healthy food.
Don’t go to crowded places.
Keep fingernails clean.
Go to bed early.
Drink a lot of water.
Open the widows.
