Reference: Health dept warns of cholera risks, Bangkok Post, November 4, 2007

Cholera is spread by the feces of infected persons normally through drinking water or eating fresh uncooked foods that have been thus tainted. Sharing spoons can only spread infections diseases that are spread through saliva and cholera is not one of them. The long spoon lecture in the article about cholera (Health dept warns of cholera risks, Bangkok Post, November 4, 2007) is misplaced.
