Cholera might also be spread by flies. My great grandfather was a minister and during a cholera epidemic in Tennessee, went into a cholera camp outside Nashville where he and his wife nursed the sick people. The story is that he and his wife cooked their food over an open fire (they slept in their covered wagon) and ate it right away while it was still hot and before any flies could get on it.
