Update on my earlier question. According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention, antibiotics can be used to lessen the impact of Cholera, but doesn't get rid of it altogether. The treatment for Cholera is just replenishing the liquid lost with a special solution, designed to replace the sugars and salts lost. So, Cholera seems to just go away after some time. For tommorow I'll check this up in another site.
Furthermore, for a project, I think we should do a model of what Cholera does to the human body. The project could also demonstrate the treatment, and answer the essential question.
The image makes me think about the regions affected by the disease. This image from WHO answers the essential question. Angola, Africa is still suffering from a large amount of Cholera cases. While in Asia and South America numbers are going down, outbreaks of Cholera occur frequently in Angola. The dry climate, lack of decent medical care and unsanitary conditions contribute to the Cholera problem. Focusing on Angola could prove beneficial for the project.
