Haiti's Cholera Outbreak Puts Pressure on Capital
Cholera causes diarrhea and vomiting. It robs the body of fluids. People can get cholera if they eat foods or drink liquids containing the bacteria that cause the infection.Cholera is not hard to treat. Basically, patients drink a solution of salt, sugar and water.The earthquake in January displaced large numbers of people. It forced them into crowded, dirty conditions in tent camps -- in other words, the perfect environment for cholera.The outbreak in Haiti has already killed several hundred people. The country's last major outbreak of the disease was more than one hundred years ago.People are being urged to wash their hands carefully with soap and purified water after using the toilet or changing a baby's diaper. The same advice goes for before eating, and before and after preparing food. If no soap is available, then ash can be used instead.
They live under very difficult conditions so it should help them.I think,people should be encouraged and cleaning should be taught to people.
