CHOLERA

#Cholera is one of the large groups of infections concerning the availability and good quality of water and proper efficient utilization of our #water resources. It is a waterborne disease resulting from water contamination by toxic agents and other water impurities

[Lagos Lagoon Waterkeeper @LagWaterkeeper]

Major Symptoms of cholera include diarrhoea and dehydration, nausea, vomiting, and water-electrolyte imbalances.
Treatment of infected individuals with mild cholera symptoms should include the use of Oral or intravenous hydration salts (ORS) and antibiotics for ill patients.

[Lagos Lagoon Waterkeeper @LagWaterkeeper]

Cholera is a bacterial disease caused by the Vibro cholerae bacteria capable of producing toxins in the small intestine. The toxin causes the body to secrete a significant amount of water, causing diarrhea and dehydration,a rapid loss of fluid,and salts (electrolytes) in the body
