8:19 I actually took a class that talked about this while I was studying in London. The crucial part of coming to this conclusion was the fact that one house in the rich neighborhood, just a block away, also suffered from the cholera outbreak. when asked, the rich family stated that they preferred the taste of the water coming from the well in the poor neighborhood as opposed to the water from their own, citing that the (infected) well had sweeter water. This led the doctor to reject his initial findings that the disease affected exclusively poor people and concluded that it was in fact a water borne illness.

He got the infection from consuming something he didn't realize was contaminated. And suffice to say, he was not having a great time. Even came close to dying.

[@LudiCrust.]

I used to be a carrier of strep throat & ended up taking a ton of antibiotics to fight it bc for whatever reason my doctor refused to take out my tonsils. After one particularly bad bout of strep throat I developed an infected tooth & the dentist gave me a prescription for clindamycin. After about 3 weeks I developed c-diff which took another month of taking meds that didn’t work until I finally took vancomycin. At the end of those 3 weeks the c-diff became so bad I experienced what it probably feels like to have cholera. I didn’t sleep for 3 days & hallucinated the entire time. How I didn’t die I don’t know. If I took a sip of water it’d go right into my small intestine which would create a spasm that’d make a gurgling waterfall like sound & id have about 20 seconds to make it to a toilet. It mentally scarred me towards diarrhea so now whenever I have it I think the worst & that c-diff came back. I refuse to take anything that has any chance of giving me c-diff like clindamycin or even proton pump inhibitors for acid reflux.

[@malinia.20]

Oh yeah. This happened to me because of chronic sinus infections. I almost died of C. diff and was hallucinating, too, because of the associated liver failure. I heard the doctor having the "end of life" conversation with my parents while I was in the hospital. After a few days, I wasn't even aware of the diarrhea anymore, which is kind of horrifying to think about. Ironically, vancomycin ended up saving my life and helping me avoid a colostomy. It was horrific and I have lifelong disabilities now. Kind of a fun (or not so fun) fact is that C. diff diarrhea is different than cholera diarrhea. Because C. diff affects your large intestine, it causes diarrhea with blood, pus, and mucus, as disgusting as that is. But cholera, because it affects the small intestine instead, causes "dysentery," which is diarrhea that is more like pure water. And lots more of it.

[@sarahalbers5555]

OMG😮I got CDiff from Keflex. I thought I was gonna die. I had a 104*8 fever. I was so dehydrated that they couldn't place an IV. Not to be a drama queen, many years later, I still have wonky gut.

[@gorillaguerillaDK]

@@SStupendous It can be - if you have access to the right kind of antibiotics, but no access to clean water. Then if you are forced to pick one, take the plague. Without clean water, you WILL die of Cholera. You will lose so much water that your organs will fail... Luckily, if you have access to clean water, in both an IV and drinking, you will be able to replace it as the water leaves your body. Plague is treatable, it just requires some heavy doses of antibiotics and preferably a top notch healthcare facility where they can monitor you...

I acknowledge that cholera does have some terrifying symptoms but also feel that it is worth mentioning that some other infectious diseases also have horrific symptoms, particularly viral haemorrhagic fevers like Ebola and Marburg viruses. Although possibly less of a threat to global health due to being very rare and only being found in sub Saharan Africa as opposed to cholera probably being more common the Ebola and Marburg viruses are described as causing horrific symptoms followed by an agonising death. Many other diseases which cause horrible symptoms like rabies are also found in some parts of the world.
