Unfortunately, the proper treatment for cholera is to essentially just keep drinking clean water. To my understanding, cholera was only ever really a problem before we knew about germs/bacteria and we didn’t have any infrastructure and our only drinking water was tainted with… more cholera.
So this guy, even if he gets cholera, wouldn’t have to do much, lean on our existing pretty good water treatment facilities, and would claim he did it because he’s so strong Because he’s now a Trill or something.
I mean Cholera is kind of not the issue here. This creek has habitually tested high for e coli. An e coli infection makes cholera seem tame. You treat cholera it’s got a mortality rate of less than 1%… E coli infection has a mortality rate around 17% slightly less than one in five people who get hit die from renal failure. Those odds go up significantly for kids…
This idiot brought his grandkids to splash in this e coli laced stream. I am without words.
Read the article. He’s not going to get cholerae he’s going to get e coli. Hopefully he will eschew antibiotics and just fucking die and save us the trouble of his existence.

The parents trust this man. The poor kids.
Though, knowing all things, they’re all vaccinated and use modern medicine well.
Probably not vaccinated for e coli. There’s very few options and most only work very short term. This smacks of reckless child endangerment.
