Zimwe mu mpamvu ziza ku isonga mu gutera iyi ndwara harimo kunywa itabi ndetse no kuba igihe kirekire ahantu hari umwuka wanduye.

Bimwe mu bimenyetso byakwereka ko urwaye iyi ndwara harimo kwibasirwa n’agahinda gakabije, kugira umunaniro wa hato na hato, gutera nabi k’umutima, gutakaza ibiro, kubura ibitotsi, kugorwa no guhumeka ndetse no gukorora cyane.

Ni mu gihe izindi mpamvu zirimo kwandura k’umwuka duhumeka ziri kuri 1-2%, ndetse ibyago byinshi byo kuyiterwa na zo bikaba bigaragara mu bihugu bikiri mu nzira y’amajyambere, naho abagirwaho ingaruka na zo cyane akaba ari abagore ndetse n’abana.
