NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Cholera concerns rising across the country following the announcement of a confirmed case in The Bahamas last week. Our News spoke with Dr. Stacie Beveans, a clinical director for Community Health Services in Grand Bahama about how to not only spot it, but also prevent it.
She says that the most common cause of cholera is contaminated food or water and can impact children and adults.
If you have a comorbidity, Dr. Bevans says the disease may be more severe.
The doctor is sharing these symptoms to look out for and says you should seek treatment immediately if any appear, as symptoms can go from mild to severe within 12 hours.
Dr. Bevans advises Bahamians to avoid raw or uncooked food and when purchasing food, ensure the environment is hygienic.
For those who are caring for babies or adults who wear diapers, the doctor says you should also be very careful.
Another step to stay safe and prevent cholera is to drink bottled water.
