3. What Causes Cholera?
As previously stated, a bacterium causes cholera. An infection can happen if someone preparing food does not wash their hands after using the bathroom, or if the water is not treated properly to remove bacteria and other germs. For this reason, cholera often becomes an epidemic, as it is common for many people to get their food and drinking water from the same places.
