How to cure cholera

I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sick all because I drunk water from a pond since I was dehydrated

there is no cure, You have to let it run its course. The dehydration will kill you as you wont be able to drink enough to stay hydrated and energised without being stuffed. You can try antibiotics but I dont think it does anything to cholera.
And as you were dehydrated to begin with then you may as well say good night to that character.
The only way to survive is to be very healthy, energised and hydrated before you get sick, unless you have somebody to give you blood bags and saline.
Dont drink from ponds, theres no reason to as basically every town has 1 or more wells with clean water, on top of all teh cans that spawn, and apples which also hydrate.

Antibiotics will cure cholera in the early stages. If it's been a while get a bottle of antibiotics and a syringe.

This is a good video to explain it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93go_-Dyiws You are better off stashing your loot and respawning but it can be survived with friends and lots of time.

Don't worry I tried surviving it by myself, and I still died

There is a cure for cholera there are 4 stages of it.
the antibiotics will help skip the first few stages.
going to a well and drinking as much water and throwing up will get you off a sickness logo.
while the logo is gone you will need to eat and drink as much as you can.
the sickness logo will come back. if its red u are in the 3rd stage I think.
if its yellow you are past the worst of it.

a quick google search will give you better info than I'm providing

you will need to sit by a well and manage your energized and hydrated logos.
your hydration will drop extremely quickly and you will find it hard to manage the stuffed and thirsty.
remove clothing if you are hot as to no accelerator the dehydration.
try not to drink so much that you throw up.

in bad cases there being more than one type of cholera you can catch, you will need friends with blood bags or saline.
I just survived it by managing my hydration and food intake well with antibiotics took about an hour.
I believe now I have survived it I can no longer catch cholera and I'm able to drink any water on without having a healthy status. I believe I'm immune now someone may need to confirm this.

I've survived Cholera a few times solo, but I was already healthy when it happened. Accidentally drank from a pond instead of filling my cooking pot. Basically have a lot of high calorie food (cooked wolf meat was my food on hand, went through about 12 of em), stick to a well, and not sure if it was the antibiotics or the charcoal tabs that saved me time, but about 20 minutes of vomiting and pumping myself full of water and the occasional whole wolf steak I came out of it completely grey. Cholera is a trip and a half, screen turns funny colors.

I also had cholera a few times ago... it will be shown as a bacterial symbol in your hud. I had if for 5 hours because i drank ftom a pond at the beginning. I ignored it till i got some antibiotics. I took one pill and it was gone.

Very Old Thread! =)
Thats because this Thread is very old and the mentioned illness is not implemented in that way anymore.
What you now got is the pill or bacterial symbol which does not do much at the moment.
Cholera in the past could have killed your char, at the moment its just a joke, i hope we get this feature this year running.
