One problem for cholera victims was that doctors tried treating the symptoms incorrectly; since the patient was expelling large amounts of fluid, it was believed the patient had too much water in their body, so the treatment was to withhold water.

An interresting part of John Snows work is that he researched the Broad Street area in a very didactic way. For example: there was a workhouse in the Broad Street area of which the residents hardly ever got sick. Snow wondered how this could be and soon found out that the workhouse had its own well, thus not exposing the inhabitants to the contaminated water. The same could be said for a nearby brewery where the 70 employees were allowed to drink as much beer as they wanted. Also a little fun fact; nowadays there is a pub on Broad Street called John Snow Pub to commemorate him. The 'original pump' is also still there but had to be replaced a couple meters off because of safety regulations or something.

[@curiousworld7912]

If people in countries such as India and the US keep being so irresponsible with antibiotics it's only a matter of time until bacterial diseases we considered a thing of the past become large scale killers again. And it doesn't exactly help that the wolves that are the pharmaceutical companies only care for maximum profits, antibiotics are generally only taken for 2 weeks or so and hence not considered profitable enough for them in comparison to antidepressants, cancer medicine and other drugs you generally take for years. Because as a result of that there is pretty much zero research being done towards the development of new antibiotics, almost all the currently existing antibiotics are from the 50's and 60's.

Interestingly, Jon Snow was said to have taken action into his own hands and physically removed the handle of the Broadstreet pump, preventing further deaths. The waters of the Broadstreet pump were supposed to be special and it was known to 'sparkle'. When he looked at the addresses of who got sick he found there were several house from richer suburbs that were well away from the pump. Turned out that rich people would send their servants to fetch water from the pump because of this sparkling specialness, but if you let the water stand for a few days it would start to smell! The sparkle came from fecal contamination from nearby cesspits and privies leaking into the well water, causing bubbles to form as the bacteria consumed the fecal matter. Gem theory and the idea there were 'tiny monsters' in the water was pooh poohed (tee hee hee) and ridiculed which is when he removed the pump handle.

A fact that might be interesting is that due to how affected Mexico was by cholera in the mid 1900's our social security system implemented giving oral solution for free to anyone that would have a visit to the doctor for any reason and especially if it involved children, as a result (and aiding to the fact that we often get heatwaves) we have developed a habit of sorts of drinking oral solution instead of just water or sports drinks during the warmer months, we even have several brands a awide variety of flavors that you can buy for cheap at any pharmacy or chain corner store

There's this excerpt from a book on the history of the fishing village my mom's side of the family comes from that I'd like to share: It's told of two young people from Råå who visited Malmö at the time during which the epidemic was at its worst. One of the two young men was careless enough, or rather unwise enough, to visit an acquainted family that had been afflicted by the ailment. At the time he showed up, one family member had even passed away. This didn't deter the youngling however, who stayed at the farm for a couple of hours and didn't even think twice about touching the corpse. When he later returned to Råå, he bragged heavily about his courage and declared "I am living proof that cholera is not communicable". The following day he was the first person in Råå to fall ill and the day following that, he died.
