Cholera

Humans

On the Oregon Trail, to cure Cholera they would give the infected person laudanum (an opium tincture useful in combating the disease). If the travelers didn't have laudanum, they would increase fluid and salt intake to prevent dehydration, and give the person lots of rest.

Cholera does not spread through air. But then cholera spread by housefly. You can call it spread by 'Air'.

Generally, a person will produce between 10-20 liters of diarrhea and vomit per day until death from dehydration.

Every year about 60,000 to 120,000 people die of cholera. For one such death, there are 99 cases of cholera in the society. That makes tremendous mortality and morbidity for such a preventable disease.

Cholera is spread by sewage-tainted drinking water. Cholera can become a problem anyplace that basic sanitary services cannot be provided. Disaster zones, war zones, wilderness areas; anything that interrupts the handling of sewage and the supply of clean drinking water can spread cholera.

It is facultatively anaerobic

Chlorine does not cause cholera. You may get cholera, by absence of that little chlorine in public water supply.

Cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae.

The bacterium that causes Cholera is called Vibrio cholerae.

The chances are near zero, if you fallow the universal precautions of personal hygiene and sanitation.

yup

The diet is most important for someone with cholera. The infected person should avoid solid food and uncooked vegetables Liquid bland foods will be easily digested by the patient. Lemon, onions, vinegar, and mint should be included in the daily diet during an epidemic of cholera. Also, cholera can be controlled only by purification of water supply and proper disposal of excrement. If there is the slightest doubt about watercontamination, it must be boiled before use for drinking and cooking purposes. All foodstuffs must be kept covered, and vegetables and fruits washed with a solution of potassium permanganate before consumption. Those handling food should wash their hands well before starting to cook. If there are lots of people in your house, you may want to reduce the numbers, or isolate yourself, that way the disease won't spread - it will just be you who has it.

Your answer is here!!!!! I found this will doing research on cholera for university.

About 1.5 - 2 micrometers long and about 500 nanometers (half a micrometer) wide.

Cholera was originally endemic to the Indian subcontinent, with the Ganges River likely serving as a contamination reservoir. The disease spread by trade routes (land and sea) to Russia, then to Western Europe, and from Europe to North America during the Irish immigration period. Cholera is no longer considered a pressing health threat in Europe and North America due to filtering and chlorination of water supplies, but still heavily affects populations in developing countries.

Yes. One insect spreads cholera. Name of that insect is housefly. Housefly sits on the stool of cholera patient and then on your food. It directly transfer the millions of bacteria to you. This way housefly transfer many other fecal oral diseases to you. You need to see the leg of housefly under light microscope.

the industrial revolution had many killer diseases including cholera. they thought at the time that miasma (bad smells) caused this and that eating and drinking to much also caused it.

Cholera is caused by the bacteria called as vibrio cholerae. These bacteria are excreted in very large number in loose motion of the cholera patient. These bacteria are transmitted through contaminated water and by flies, at times by hands to other people.

Dr. John Snow prepared the dot map of the cholera patients. He could locate the origin of cholera on Broad street (now Broadwick street) of Soho district of London. Almost all the patients had consumed water from one particular pump. Some monks from the area were not affected by cholera. But then, they did not used the water for drinking. But instead they used to consume beer to quench the thirst. The theory was not accepted immediately. But then, you can not hide the truth for long. Just like that, you can not hide the sun with your hands.
