I recently read that a few sporadic cases of cholera has occurred in Tamilnadu. One of the primary reasons for this occurrence is poor sanitation. Infact in one the websites I read this phrase "Boil it, cook it, peel it, or forget it. " So be sure to drink boiled water, eat thoroughly cooked food and to eat fresh fruits and vegetables that have been washed thoroughly.
