[translation needed here]
===15. You can also get cholera by contact with the faeces (poo) of someone who has cholera, as their faeces will contain cholera germs.===
[translation needed here]
===16. These germs are so small you cannot see them. ===

===28. Cholera can spread throughout your community very quickly. ===
[translation needed here]
===29. As we have learnt, it is spread through dirty water or food, or by contact with faeces (poo). ===
[translation needed here]
===30. If you live in an area where many people share latrines or where human faeces are left on the ground you must be very careful because you may be in contact with cholera germs. ===
[translation needed here]
===31. If your water supply is not clean you must also be very careful because unclean water can contain cholera germs.===
[translation needed here]
===32. Can contact with human faeces (poo) be dangerous?===
[translation needed here]
===33. Yes, because they can contain cholera germs,===
[translation needed here]
===34. Or no, they just smell bad?===
[translation needed here]
===35. Press a button now.===

===36. Correct! Contact with human faeces can be dangerous because faeces may contain cholera germs that can kill you.===
[translation needed here]
===37. Why can unclean water be dangerous?===
[translation needed here]
===38. Because it tastes bad,===
[translation needed here]
===39. Or because it may contain cholera germs?===
[translation needed here]

[translation needed here]
===43. There are many symptoms of cholera and these symptoms can vary from mild to severe.===
[translation needed here]
===44. The most common symptoms are sudden, watery diarrhoea and dehydration. The diarrhoea is often referred to as “rice water” diarrhoea, because of its white colour.===

[translation needed here]
===52. Drinking lots of liquids helps to replace the water lost from the body due to diarrhoea.===

[translation needed here]
===59. If possible a special rehydration mixture from your health centre should be mixed with the water. This rehydration mixture is very good at helping replace liquid lost from the body due to diarrhoea.===
[translation needed here]
===60. If you cannot get this rehydration mixture from your health centre you can make it easily at home. Take 5 cups of clean drinking water and add a large handful of sugar and a large pinch of salt. ===
[translation needed here]
===61. Stir the mixture well before feeding it slowly to the sick person using a clean cup or spoon.===
[translation needed here]
===62. If you think someone in your family may have cholera why is it good to give them the special rehydration mixture?===
[translation needed here]
