Antibiotics are making it difficult to find new hosts in developed countries. This problem doesn't exist in many parts of Africa though.

I usually cause mild symptoms like a cold. But it gets fun when they get more severe and cause dehydration...

[Vibrio cholerae @Vibriocholerae2]

I'm good at making your stomach feel bad...and I like dehydration.

If you want to meet me you'll have to drink some nice dirty water.

I don't like the United States. The water is too clean. There was only one case of me there in all of 2015. #toogoodforme
