Cholera is an easily treatable disease. The prompt administration of oral rehydration salts to replace lost fluids nearly always results in cure. In especially severe cases, intravenous administration of fluids may be required to save the patient's life.
Left untreated, however, cholera can kill quickly following the onset of symptoms. This can happen at a speed that has incited fear and paralyzed commerce throughout history. Although such reactions are no longer justified, cholera continues to be perceived by many as a deadly and highly contagious threat that can spread through international trade in food.

To avoid the placebo effect! If doctor knows that the substance he is giving is inert, his behavior will change. Patient is likely to note the same. If the doctor knows that he is giving the drug, his behavior will be confident. Patient will again note the same. So to avoid this placebo effect, the doctor has to be blind as well. Same is true for the patient also. So both the patient and the doctor need to be blind to have the proper study of the drug. Such study is called as double blind study and it is necessary for proper results.
