9. Preventing Cholera When You Travel
Travelers can lessen their risk of contracting cholera in several easy ways. They should drink only bottled, boiled, or treated water when visiting or living in a country where cholera is a risk. Frequent hand-washing is also key. If soap and clean water are not available, hand sanitizer that is at least 60 percent alcohol is an option. One should never eat raw or undercooked food, and should instead eat freshly prepared, properly heated, or even packaged foods when traveling.
