this same thing happened almost ten years ago when my sister and four of my neighbours ate african salad and they all fell sick. Although the sickness was not confirmed to be cholera but they were throwing up and stooling continuously and they were given intensive treatment at the hospital for more than a week. Lets be careful what we eat, either prepared by us or bought from food vendors. May God be with us. 3 Likes |

My friend had vegetable soup at a hotel less than two weeks ago. She's had diarrhea, fatigue, loss of appetite, and muscle aches since. She was taking Imodium at first but when to the doctor when no significant relief was noted. They're still doing tests but she said they're suspecting it. It's extremely frightening. ifyalways: this in definitely not the best times to indulge in certain foods like salad(African or Oyibo) unless its prepared at home. ^^^ This. Not eating out in general sef. |

I thought cholera is a water borne disease? I suspect the contaminated "abacha" is food poisoning and not cholera. I stand to be corrected though. 2 Likes |

It's extremely frightening.Your friend is definitely suffering from food poisoning. Cholera and food poisoning have similar symptoms. Cholera is deadlier though. |

gbanikiti: I thought cholera is a water borne disease? I suspect the contaminated "abacha" is food poisoning and not cholera. I stand to be corrected though. Abacha is made with purely raw,uncooked ingredients. Cholera germs spread when food is prepared,touched,washed or handled with untreated contaminated water/hands. I hope you can now connect the dots. . . ogugua88:True. Sea foods must be well cooked and eaten hot. Vegetables and meat well cooked. Fruits peeled and washed with uncontaiminated water. 2 Likes |

I saw some guys eating it with so much relish here around Tin - Can Island ports yesterday... Am sorry to say, but anytime I see it...it's looks so much disgusting to me...maybe because of the excessive red oil. Things like that should be strictly eaten in the comfort of your home..prepared by a trusted hand. 3 Likes |

Quite hasty conclusion in my opinion;sounds more like d typical nigerian way of making decisions based on hear-say. -They cudnt av collected samples of d abacha in question because am sure d cholera incidence(s) were not reported dat same day,days in which d woman must av exhausted her preparations on whc dey av hastily made a conclusion,so whc samples were tested that isolated d causative agent,though history itself I agree is quite important. -Evn if d lady was d presumed source,cud it av come from her unhygienic handling while she was serving& not d "abacha" per se because dey av to conclusively prove in d first place that a cholera agent can thrive on dat particular preparation of abacha,knowing some agents don't thrive on particular meals -Were d victims served from d same water source?Anoda possibility -If pple cud see d way some food items are prepared in some bukas and eatery joints,pple wud b surprised that outbreaks are still minimal. What d govt shud do is not to rush into dis kind of conclusion,if not,it may end up missing d real source whc may end up creating more havoc. 8 Likes |
