Current treatment of Cholera seems mainly to be replacement of the fluid
loss, which is what kills. The disease is easily shrugged off if you do
not get dehydrated. So yes, it would attack everywhere, and at that time
there would be no replacement that was not itself contaminated with the
disease. The 'magic mixture' is nothing more that water with salt and
glucose added. often given as an IV drip in hospitals, but can easily be
made from your kitchen should you ever need to treat someone.


Very useful for bad tummy bug with diarrhoea. Someone correct me if I'm
wrong, but ISTR glass of water with 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon
of salt.
