Sanitation – Most stalls does not have running water and utensils used for cooking are most of the time exposed to the surroundings. Smoke, flies, cockroaches are just some of the things that can affect the sanitation of the food which may lead to serious problems such as food poisoning.
Complications – Because of the poor sanitation, there are also a lot of diseases that can manifest if you eat street foods for an extended amount of time.
therefore street foods are one of the reasons of the infectious disease cholera.

Cholera is an infectious disease that causes severe watery diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and even death if untreated and it is caused by eating food contaminated with a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae, ex:street food.

But why is cholera so deadly and dangerous?
cholera is an extremely dangerous disease because of the severity of it''s symptoms and the rapid deterioration that it causes. If identified and treated early the disease is completely curable and is unlikely to be life threatening, but in many developing and underdeveloped countries factors like poverty and poor access to medical facilities lead to delays in treatment which often prove to be fatal. The disease is caused by a bacterial infection that restricts or prevents the absorption of water. In cases that are severe it can cause violent diarrhea within just a few days.

In conclusion in order to prevent choleraand live a longer happier life just simply stay away from street food and eat clean.
