Cholera is a bacteria that was prevalent in the 1800s due to infected water. The use of chlorine (Cl) to disinfect water has almost completely eliminated it; however, the bacteria that causes cholera can still develop in water that has not been properly disinfected. An interesting thing is; table salt (NaCl) acts as a disinfectant due to the chlorine atom in it, which is one reason why it's used to preserve things like meat.
