Cholera mainly spreads by the fecal-oral route. This occurs when feces containing the cholera bacterium contaminate drinking water. Infection can also spread through food that was irrigated, washed, or cooked with contaminated water. Raw shellfish and seafood, fruits and vegetables exposed to sewage or human excrement, and food packed in contaminated ice can have a high potential to transmit cholera.
