An outbreak of cholera in Kampala that killed two people has been blamed on locally bottled water or juice that was contaminated. Samples of both showed high counts of e. coli bacteria, prompting the Ugandan Health Ministry to ban sale of bottled water and soft drinks. The incident is a reminder that locally bottled products in developing countries can’t always be trusted, and travelers should be sure to drink boiled or treated water.
