Ways to Extinct cholera In Homes

It is No longer News that Cholera is gradually wiping out families especially in the Northern parts of Nigeria and some other African countries, this Cholera has been around for a long time and is responsible for almost half of the death cases caused by water borne diseases worldwide.

This disease is very very unfriendly and has robbed people of friends and family, It shows no mercy. Sometime ago I was reading in the newspaper how this cholera has killed almost 3,500 people in the Sub-Saharan countries alone just from January to September in 2011 and despite the Government's and the relevant agencies move to terminate this disease it just keeps on waxing stronger and spreading even more than before.

What is Cholera?

This is an acute intestinal infection caused by the ingestion or taking of food contaminated with a bacteria called Vibrio Cholarae. it is very fatal if not detected and treated on time

Causes of the disease includes; War, Civil Unrest, Natural Disasters, flies, Uncooked food, Raw shellfish and others such as oysters, Unpeeled and raw fruits and vegetables and grains. Another thing again that can cause this disease is the so-called pure water that is hawked on the roads and streets. A lot of people don't know this but the so-called Pure water some of us take these days are one of the primary causes of Cholera.

Symptoms of the disease Includes also:

• Dehydration
• Stomach cramps
• Watery Diarrhea with one kind fishy smell
• Low urine
• Loss of Skin Elasticity
• Dry Mouth and skin
• Low Blood pressure
• Excessive Thirst
• Sudden Weakness
• Restlessness
• and the most popular of them all Nausea and vomiting..
• The disease also occurs freely in nature in water

Prevention and ways to extinct Cholera in homes

Although even as tough as the disease can be, it can also be prevented as Prevention they say is far far better than cure. Cholera can be prevented in families and the environment in many ways

Eat well cooked and still hot foods only.

• Do not eat Unpeeled fruits or vegetables as they now act as a catalyst.
• Do not consume raw fish for anything or cooked fishes that have stayed for more than 2 days.
• Drink water that has been properly boiled or treated with chlorine or iodine either by you or a trusted source.
• Try to avoid Salads
• Do not take the pure water that is sold on the street. Although some of the pure water are genuine but once it stays more than three days from its date of production it is no longer safe for drinking and therefore act as a medium for contacting Cholera. So before you drink try to check its production date and note the day you bought it before you drink.
• Avoid food and beverages from the so-called street vendors and Hawkers because your life is way important than you think.
• Take coconut water and cucumber Juice regularly.
• Take Lemons at times because it helps to reduce the levels of cholera bacilli.
• Limit your visit from areas with a high record of Cholera out break.
• Do not drink water from the well unless it well boiled or treated with Chlorine or iodine.
• Avoid exposing your food or peeled fruits so flies and other insects wont infect it for you
