How can I protect myself if I plan to be in an area with cholera?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a website where travelers can check for outbreaks of cholera and other diseases (Visit their Travel Health Notices website.)

If you live in an area with cholera or plan to travel to one, make sure you’re careful about the water you drink. Wash your hands and prepare food carefully. The following supplies might help:

  • Bottled water.
  • Chlorine tables.
  • Household bleach.
  • Iodine tablets.
  • Prepackaged foods.
