It really is something how Cholera went from an illness that would clear through a town like the bubonic plague to literally being treated with Gatorade. Despite the circular patterns of history humanity really has come far.
I mean its not big science to not drink poop water.
@@noahleuer721 I don't think you quite understand just how much waste your average metropolitan area generates on a daily basis. Without the _ample_ sanitation and waste treatment technologies of the modern era the streets of cities like New York and London would quite literally be covered in literal rivers of shit as the Hudson and Thames taint every water table a thousand miles downstream for the next one hundred years. So yeah big science.
I mean the Romans figured it out so it can't be thaaaaaaat difficult.
@@noahleuer721 Have some numbers for perspective. New York produces1.3 billion galleons of raw sewage that refines into 1200 tons of sludge
In terms of raw numbers roughly one Tenth of the population of _entire_ Roman Empire lives within the limits of NYC.
@@simonnachreiner8380 you seem to now a lot about feces😂. It's not that I don't get your point it's just that for example in the video building this pump right next to a cesspool should have obviously been a bad idea. You just need a bit of common sense to figure that out.
Hi Microbiology graduate here, I just wanted to say this is incredibly well researched and succinct and touched on a lot of what I learned about cholera in my degree!
Shut up barny the purple dinosaur
Yea barney shit up!
That must take so much hard work

According to my Maternal Grandmother, while the Spanish Flu was not common here in the Philippines, she always hear of Cholera outbreaks here until the 1930s. That is when the Americans finish creating a clean water source for residents here.
This man really put the sponsor part right after explaining purgative diarrhea.
PURGATIVE diarrhea - not prerogative!
"Prerogative diarrhea" would be verbal - such as an incredibly wealthy guy who was born into affluence admonishing a homeless guy with mental health issues for not having a job and telling that homeless person to stop being such a sore looser!
That would be akin to prerogative diarrhea…..
Purgative diarrhea on the other hand is more akin to having your bowel flushed by a high pressure pump….😂
@@gorillaguerillaDK 🤓
@@TimSlee1_
@@TimSlee1 Indeed, it is a smart and funny analogy.
@@gorillaguerillaDKLOSER, not looser
And that analogy is a little iffy
I am just recovering from it. I was fine one day then i started feeling extremely weak. It felt like i lost all muscle strength and felt like ill fall if i get up. I was extremely dehydrated even tho i was drinking 8-9 liters a day. i had to get antibacs and electrolytes to recover.
I’m glad you’re doing better.
Glad you are better..
You had poop in your mouth lol

This bacteria has always fascinated me. It’s scary how powerful a bacteria can be causing someone to potentially die within hours/days
bacteria does not cause disease, it is FOUND with disease because it feeds on it.
cholera is the accumulation of toxic material into the body, the toxic matter is extremely dangerous.
Med lab student here, cholera is a part of the vibrio species! Most vibrio variants are deadly and can kill quickly. If you're interested in learning more. Vibrio vulfinicus is just as interesting!!
Fun fact. A washer woman I think in Ireland discovered that the water by the brewery was never infected with Cholera (that's because they boiled the water to brew the beer and activate the yeast) and I think that before the time of antibiotics and such it was known that "brewers water" was always safe
Just FYI you probably shouldn't start with fun fact then 5 words later you say " I think" you can't use the term "I think" when stating a fact.
“I think therefore I am” “I think”
Actually, thay may have been during the John Snow investigation - where brewery workers were unaffected whilst also living on Broad Street, which strengthened his theory on the one pump being the cause.
@@gokuxsephiroth4505Yes when John Snow was conducting interviews, he went to a house on Broad Street that hadn’t had many cholera cases and found out they got there water supply from a different pump source. He then went to the brewery and found out the people there drink mainly beer, causing them to be less likely sick.
@@gokuxsephiroth4505😮😮😮😮
Cholera cots… finally I won’t need to get up from my computer chair.
😅😅😅
That description of what plaque is in the begininng is about to make me go from brushing twice a day to four times a day.
Violently vomiting and shitting yourself to death is horrifying
The fire hydrant video for purgative diarrhea absolutely killed me.
Yep. You do NOT want your butt to feel like a fire hose (yes I giggled too, but yikes).
It doesn’t feel like that. It feels like turning on a water faucet. It’s a not painful like E. Coli diarrhea is. The dehydration is what causes the really bad side effects & the panic/anxiety comes from not being able to keep up with the fluid loss.
I learned about Cholera, by reading an American Girl book. Kirsten, a Swedish girl was traveling on ferry to immigrate, and her best friend died from cholera. A very descriptive book. I’m still traumatized from that.
I was thinking of the same story when watching this! I remember reading that when I was 10
During the cholera outbreak in Egypt (God knows which one of the 10), my grandpa watched his great-uncle getting buried alive because he was infected. I couldn't find any site talking about live burials anywhere though
Turns out also it was an anomalous situation, as mass live burials were never documented. He was in a remote village however
Gads.
😢
Thanks for info...
@@angelamccrackin5243"Thanks" is a very questionable word to use in this context.
I said thanks for information.
My dad told me he once had El Tor (a variation of cholera) back in the Philippines in his hometown of Narvacan, Ilocos Sur. This was decades ago when he was younger and long before he met my mom who was also from the Philippines albeit in the neighboring northern province Ilocos Norte. He got the infection from consuming something he didn't realize was contaminated. And suffice to say, he was not having a great time. Even came close to dying. He was administered some kind of shot which completely resolved his condition. And to this day, I'm amazed he survived a deadly disease.
Fantastic episode. Diseases that spread through contaminated water sources are just frightening.
Kinda like your face

As an Indian I'm just moved by how much my fellow Indians have ensured and continue to endure.
And still no1 in population 😁😁
poop in streets 🐒
Maybe just wash your hands and try to shit in toilets instead of the streets...
Is disgusting that this is still an issue specially in empoverished countries because of the poor infrastructure and water sanitation meanwhile the leaders of these countries are filling their pockets with the poor folk money.
That's so true
Especially if we consider the coup currently in Niger
Nothing new here. That's the way it goes!
Wrong. They're filling their pockets with banker's money. The people are many times poor because they can't find ways to live without money, it's possible.

When I was six i got cholera. When I was seven I got cholera yet again, and I live in Australia. Glad to have survived.
u got it twice in Australia? did u live in a more rural area? is it common there🤔
@@idkmanwoah Nup, I live in a suburban area. I'm pretty sure our pipes or something got contaminated because we were sure it was due to the water.
@@InkByt3 What part of Australia?
Please do more videos like this. This is facinating. I'd watch any video that dives into diverse obscure topics. This stuff is really interesting to learn about.
Probably the most underappreciated science channel on here god damn
fun fact: "cholera" in polish means "darnit" or "god damnit".
Really? Its like that in my country too
considering my homestead grandparents had the pig pen right next to the artisian well that flowed openly, and mice behind the stove in the kitchen (grandpa said they needed a home, too) and we did all the milk/cream separation in that small kitchen and stored below the floor for p/u, I'm aghast that we as a family for 100 years never had a water or food borne incident. But we DID have an outhouse and DIDN't place dead bodies in the river.
So glad YT recommended you to me. This is definitely my new binge channel, that's for sure. Excellent content.
I know it’s a good day when Dark science uploads and I learn something
Reeeeeeee
Cadaverine. That word is not lost on me. That word and putrescine really tell me all I need to know about those compounds
Why are they important?
8:19 I actually took a class that talked about this while I was studying in London. The crucial part of coming to this conclusion was the fact that one house in the rich neighborhood, just a block away, also suffered from the cholera outbreak. when asked, the rich family stated that they preferred the taste of the water coming from the well in the poor neighborhood as opposed to the water from their own, citing that the (infected) well had sweeter water. This led the doctor to reject his initial findings that the disease affected exclusively poor people and concluded that it was in fact a water borne illness.
I love your videos, it is so good to know that you are uploading again, thank you so much. It is indeed very interesting to understand the science of such dark episodes of history and today.
It's definitely still present in parts of western and southern Asia. Bangladesh has an ongoing outbreak--but there's an entirely hospital dedicated to treatment and prevention of cholera. So there's a bright side after all...
As a food microbiologist, these vids make the car ride to work a lot better
There was a cholera outbreak in Saudi Arabia in 1970/1. Iwas ten. We had to get our cholera inoculations a lot more frequently and my parents decided to send my mom and us kids back to the States early while my dad finished out his contract.
We always boiled our water anyway, but we didn't boil the water we bathed in. I think my parents were afraid we would accidentally ingest contaminated water in our bath even though my mom put chlorine bleach in it.
was chlorine water effective against the pathogens though ?
just curious
@@perfectcell1157 ... The main point of chlorine tablets is to kill bacteria.
You add chlorjne tablets to water to purify it in a cholera epidemic.
Is it true that you guys wipe your ass with your hand?
@@chucklebutt4470 Left hand.
@@chucklebutt4470yup most of Asia does
I read that people that used the Broad Street pump actually LIKED the taste of the water, and people from all around would visit the pump
Yes! I've been waiting for another video 😊
John Snow and his contributions make me proud to be British
He figured out that you shouldn't be storing human waste right next to the water source.
He was truly a genius detective, at least compared to the rest...
What a way to start a conversation: you will never guess how the toxin released by the cholera bacteria is called!
More like "way to get people to walk away from you when they realize you're a socially awkward nerd"
Cholera is also a "war disease," and there's been no shortage of those.
Whoo I love this channel, so happy to see a new vid's out
Cool video. Explained very well.
This channel is amazing, its so interesting thatthe topics are so random that each video is entertaining
I used to be a carrier of strep throat & ended up taking a ton of antibiotics to fight it bc for whatever reason my doctor refused to take out my tonsils. After one particularly bad bout of strep throat I developed an infected tooth & the dentist gave me a prescription for clindamycin. After about 3 weeks I developed c-diff which took another month of taking meds that didn’t work until I finally took vancomycin. At the end of those 3 weeks the c-diff became so bad I experienced what it probably feels like to have cholera. I didn’t sleep for 3 days & hallucinated the entire time. How I didn’t die I don’t know. If I took a sip of water it’d go right into my small intestine which would create a spasm that’d make a gurgling waterfall like sound & id have about 20 seconds to make it to a toilet. It mentally scarred me towards diarrhea so now whenever I have it I think the worst & that c-diff came back. I refuse to take anything that has any chance of giving me c-diff like clindamycin or even proton pump inhibitors for acid reflux.
Excellent! John Snow has a monument in Soho by that very water pump, it’s just to the side of Carnaby Street.
Thanks dude, you just made me NEED to brush my teeth
Ah yes, like the eternal pick between Plague or Cholera!

- you should always choose Cholera, unless you have absolutely NO access to water that can be cleaned, but happens to have access to some very effective antibiotics - then Plague might be preferable!
Plague damn sure never is preferable
@@SStupendous
It can be - if you have access to the right kind of antibiotics, but no access to clean water.
Then if you are forced to pick one, take the plague.
Without clean water, you WILL die of Cholera.
You will lose so much water that your organs will fail...
Luckily, if you have access to clean water, in both an IV and drinking, you will be able to replace it as the water leaves your body.
Plague is treatable, it just requires some heavy doses of antibiotics and preferably a top notch healthcare facility where they can monitor you...
Repulsive that this is still a problem..
It is. Even more repulsive when it comes to tbc.
21000-143000 people die of cholera yearly, while a staggering 1.6 million (!) people die of tbc in a year.
Repulsive that both the worst cholera epidemic and the worst epidemic of a waterborne disease both happened in the past few decades... The later being the Milwaukee Cryptosporidium epidemic, infecting millions in the early 90s.
@@SStupendous 😨😨
@@stephanieparker1250 It's a rabbit hole but I encourage researching it - the WORST epidemic in history of waterborne disease was in America, and in 1993!

Hey great work as a med student this is helpful,can you do one for tuberculosis?
Do a video on anatomy of burning to death.

There's a bacteria that can make you litteraly shit yourself to death. Wow just wow
Okay, now make one called The Terrors of Cloaca
4:56 oh duck i chose the wrong video to watch for dinner and i keep hearing diarrhea as i devour and digest my meal.
Good job!👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
Amazing video!
isolation is something that doesnt happen anymore.. This is key once a disease/outbreak is found isolation of that community/group needs to be shut down period from transporting it to others
bro i love watching this
this is great, thanks
In 1970s
It was kill so many people in my city
I cant tell the exact number
I was 13y
It was a nightmare
It repeatedly every year during dry season
The sea water get into the river
There wasnt fresh water
Fluid replacement it the mainstay of therapy. Add tetracycline or simple penicillin and you are on the road to recovery. A little chlorine bleach in the waste water, end of the outbreak. The infection itself is uncomfortable, but not really life threatening. The dehydration certainly is.
super video of the perpetrator and the mechanics of the illness
I found nothing similar for leprosy on your channel yet
it disfigures the people similarly and even more than syphillis
perhaps you make a video on this topic as well
Watching this while eating was not a good idea. Amazing video as always though!
I like how you've described the biology behind cholera in a way that didn't make me nauseous
Welp, I now have a basic idea of cholera pathophysiology. God damn, such an easy treatment for what was once a deadly disease.
Having dinner while watching this !
Fascinating
Anyone else violently brush their teeth when they learned what plaque is?
Those little buggers certainly seem to be an intelligent species of life in the food chain 😮
Cholera dont hurt
Minor Grammar Gestapo™ citations for 4:32 and 4:39 - you mean "lying down" / "lie down", not "laying down", "lay down". "Laying" / "lay" is used with an object; e.g. I _lay_ my sleeping bag under the overpass before I _lie_ on it (but this arrangement's only temporary, 'cause this YT grammar police gig is gonna get that money faucet a-flowin' *_any day_* now.)
Ok Mr grammar police
Saying laying instead of lying pisses me off, too.
4:56 That dudes hurting bad, he is the unofficial posterchild of Cholera, i have seen that dudes face everywhere Cholera is discussed. Im beginning to wonder if hes actually dead in this short film snippet
Am from Zambia a country that has a big cholera problem that can be fixed by making new sewer systems but the government won't
Excellent!! Can you do something on the RH Factor??? :D

I would guess this would be a nightmare in India.
It originated in Bangladesh india
That's one John Snow that knows something
6:40
To skip the ju ad
You should do a video on raw milk and earthing/grounding. I'm starting to see more and more of those people.
It's weird, I was seeing earthing/grounding advocates in the mainly science oriented facebook group related to a rare disease I have (hypokalemic periodic paralysis). I was telling them it's BS but got push-back. I guess if it's people reporting stuff like better mood or w/e there could be something to it but it would likely just be placebo effect which, granted, can still be very powerful.
I haven't looked into raw milk but it seems dangerous and, just guessing, unlikely to be a net positive when compared to any benefits. I just learned a bit ago that there was a time in the USA where ~500,000 babies were dying a year from contaminated or adulterated milk alone.
@chucklebutt4470 Never underestimate the tenacity of humanity to push forward but also the willpower of idiots trying to drag it backward.
I once heard movies recapped talk about alien covenant to this music so I just think this is alien covenant music my bad I mean Prometheus music goes with the movie
What is the name of the eerie music playing in the background?
Very interesting and educational as usual good job but you did not mention the immune system in the slightest, why is that?! It is not like the immune system will be sitting and watching the bacteria wreaking havoc, right?
cholera affects the intestines, and there’s little to no immune cells present there, so I wouldn’t think there’s much to mention
Another great video! For a video idea, could you look into the worst forms of bio/chemical warfare pre-WW1?
Cholera???? ...OHHHHH CHOLERA...I was so confused since its means something way different in my country havent seen the video yet but Im about to)
So you must drink 10 liters of coctails a day and more. For me a bucket of margarita
