#2 Fred, it doesn't have to be cholera to be deadly. All kinds of bacteria and parasites infest bad water; could also be from pollution if there's a low-grade factory or mine in the area.

Second Daughter contracted a dozen different gastrointestinal bugs while studying in West Africa. It was rough having final exams and parasite problems at the same time.
