Cholera can be caught through contaminated food or water. The Cholera bacteria survives the stomach acids, and makes it's way to the small intestine. It then starts to release toxins, which affect the mucosal epithelium in the small intestine, which cause the diarrea to occur. The diarrea is clear with white specks. The loss of liquids may cause complications. If untreated, Cholera can be fatal in less than 12 hours. That is why it is necessary to replenish the liquids lost. The liquids will be needed until the diarrea stops, or else the victim might get dehydrated.
Also, looking at the essential question, answering it won't pose much of the problem. We've already looked a lot into it, and our project shows the answer to the main essential question, and ours.
Stay tuned for the cellular explanation of how Cipro works tommorow. And expect another update later today on progress with the project.
