zygoma: The First Cholera Pandemic India’s population has endured cholera’s wrath since ancient times, but it wasn’t until the 19th century when it became global after traders unintentionally carried the disease back to China, Japan, North Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Since then, six outbreaks have occurred resulting in millions of deaths. Cholera is caused by the intestinal bacteria, Vibrio cholerae. Infections are relatively mild (only a small percentage of those infected suffer from severe vomiting and leg cramps, leading to dehydration and shock) but only those immune systems who stay hydrated long enough can easily defeat the disease. The first cholera pandemic struck the European cities during the industrial revolution of the 1800s. As a result, doctors called for cleaner and more sanitary living conditions, believing that “bad air” was the root of the disease. Even though this helped, the connection was finally made to bad drinking water. After the 1800s, people believed cholera was in the past. However, new outbreaks occurred in 1961 in Indonesia and 1991 and pandemics continue to this day.
