At least 50 people have died in an outbreak of suspected cholera in Borno, Nigeria. The victims died last week of vomiting and diarrhea in four local government areas near Chad and Cameroon. The disease can be prevented by washing hands and avoiding contaminated drinking water, and many of those who died could have been saved by a simple mixture of water and rehydration salts.
