Answer:

People become infected with cholera when drinking infected water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cholera comes from some strains of the bacteria Vibrio cholerae. The primary way to get infected is by drinking water infected with this bacteria, typically unclean water that has been sitting for a long time. When the bacteria enters, it secretes a cholera toxin which causes sever diarrhea, dehydration, and vomiting.
