Contracting Cholera from clean water sources.
New, NormalPublic

Description

On three separate occasions I have contracted Cholera when drinking from water bottles refilled from a Jerry Can that I purified with chlorine tablets moments before drinking. The last two occasions I used chlorine tablets on the ALREADY CLEAN water immediately before drinking it just to be sure and still contracted Cholera. I was not in contact with zombies within 20+ minutes of these occasions. I had clean hands AND was wearing gloves and on two of the occasions had not butchered an animal in hours. I have not drank water from any other sources. All of the procedures for getting water I have been using for years without issue, only with the most recent patch (1.11) has this been the case. I believe the water in the Jerry Can was originally from a barrel in 2 of the instances, from a water pump in the third instance, but with 100% certainty the water was purified with chlorine tablets MULTIPLE times before drinking just to be sure. The sickness has killed my friend before when he was drinking from a clean water source that I myself was drinking from, yet I did not get sick until hours later, drinking the same water I had been drinking all day. I cannot see any other reason to have contracted cholera, having not been in fights with zombies or players in these instances. I'm not sure what steps must be done to reproduce it, because the same Jerry Can does not always get me sick, but its the only thing I am drinking from and I have been sick 3 times.

I believe Cholera can not only be contracted by drinking water,but it has similar symptoms as Salmonella, that can be contracted if you eat rotten food or even food extracted from zombies bodies. It may be that, you should carry multivitamins all the time just in case.

I have not eaten any rotten food or food from zombies, all the food we consumed was cooked food from hunting kills. All kills butchered with gloves on and cooked to eat. None of the legitimate ways to contract salmonella or cholera should apply, my teammate even contracted cholera from water that was from a water pump today.
