"The researchers found that the body could absorb the necessary electrolytes—sodium and chloride—when a sugar dextrose—was added to the salt solution."
Prepper file stuff if your local infrastructure starts to break down. (Jackson MS?) If you lack $12/bottle pharmacy electrolytes or a $125 bolus of hospital IV electrolyte here is a simple Oral Rehdration Solution (From the video below.)
Boil water for 1 minute, add 1 tsp salt and 6 tsp of sugar to 1 liter (quart)
When available, supplementation (20 mg zinc per day in children 6 months or older) should be started immediately.
CDC instructions I can trust for a change!
ORH Oral Rehydration Therapy is the primary treatment. (See link)
Cholera 3rd world versionPHS youtube! Of course, the Child is the one teaches everyone else to wash your hands and use a latrine, but OK, gets the point across. (Probably intended for 3rd world schools, so makes sense.)
"A study in Bangladesh showed that zinc supplementation significantly reduced the duration and severity of diarrhea in children suffering from cholera. The study was conducted with 179 children, 3-14 years old, who were admitted to a hospital within 24 hours of the onset of cholera symptoms. In the study, all children received antibiotics and rehydration therapy as needed, but those in the intervention group also received zinc supplementation. Children who received zinc supplementation had 8 fewer hours of diarrheal illness and 10% less diarrheal stool volume, on average. Zinc has also been shown to have a similar effect in children with diarrhea caused by infections other than cholera, and is recommended for the treatment of pediatric diarrhea more generally."
Antibiotic regimens for the treatment of cholera
Tetracycline has been shown to be an effective treatment for cholera and is superior to furazolidone, cholamphenicol,and sulfaguanidine in reducing cholera morbidity. Treatment with a single 300-mg dose of doxycycline has been shown to be equivalent to tetracycline treatment and is now recommended as first-line treatment in adults, including pregnant women, and in children. Previously, antibiotics of the tetracycline class were not recommended for pregnant women due to teratogenic effects, or in children due to dental discoloration. In a recent systematic review among pregnant women and young children receiving doxycycline, there was no correlation between the use of doxycycline and teratogenic effects or dental staining in children.
Erythromycin is effective for cholera treatment and is also an appropriate alternative regimen for adults, including pregnant women, and children. Norfloxacin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), and ciprofloxacin are effective, but doxycycline offers advantages related to ease of administration and comparable or superior effectiveness. Recently, azithromycin has been shown to be more effective than erythromycin and ciprofloxacin.Resistance to tetracycline and other antimicrobial agents among Vibrio cholerae has been demonstrated in both endemic and epidemic cholera settings. Resistance can result from the accumulation of selected mutations over time, or from the acquisition of genetic elements such as plasmids, introns, or conjugative elements, which confer rapid spread of resistance. A likely risk factor for antimicrobial resistance is widespread use of antibiotics, including mass distribution for prophylaxis in asymptomatic individuals. Antibiotic resistance emerged in previous epidemics in the context of antibiotic prophylaxis for household contacts of cholera patients.

I think I heard 1/2 tsp salt in the video.
Thanks, saving.
Sounds like Gatoraide...(or some such crap)
