Florida Woman diagnosed with cholera

A woman who has recently returned from Haiti to Florida was diagnosed with cholera where it has became very popular in Haiti. There has been an outbreak of this disease in Haiti killing 1,100 people. We have laboratory confirmation that it is the type of cholera spreading in Haiti," said Florida Department of Health spokesman Rob Hayes. "This is not a major public health concern, but we're on top of it," he added. The Florida Health department is trying there best to make sure the disease does not spread in the community. Haiti's outbreak of cholera has spread across the border into the Dominican Republic and is on a full health alert. There has been a large number of U.S. citizens traveling back and forth between Haiti and the United States which can cause a lot more chances of the disease to spread into the United States and cause a big problem.

Conclusion: Even though there are a bigger chance of it spreading into the U.S. because of people visiting Haiti to help the chances of it getting into the U.S. is low because the sanitation is very good and the food and water supplies are so good it is very slim for cholera to get in from the water supplies. The only way it can get in is from people who were already sick and traveled to the countries or people eating food close to the cost such as seafood.
