Cholera: A Conclusion

Cholera is an epidemic disease that has killed millions of people and results in symptoms
such as feeling cold, possible liquid stool, bad cramps, and dehydration. Eating raw foods, poor
sanitation, and sewage in water are all possible causes for an infected person to die. In order to
eliminate cholera, it was necessary to identify the problem; what is the cause of Cholera? You
would also need to gather information such as, the water contaminated with sewage/fecal matter
seems to be the cause of cholera, you would need to investigate what's in the fecal matter to see
what could be the cause of the disease. After viewing the cholera stool and seeing it had a lot of
grey dots with orange and brown clumps. Therefore, my hypothesis is: If the cholera stool has
orange circles and the healthy stool does not, then the orange circles are the cause of cholera. In
order to test the hypothesis you need the test set-up: we had an experimental and control group of
12, the independent is orange dots and the dependent is the cause of cholera. You also need the
procedure: view both samples, record observations, then compare the observations. As each
stool sample was analyzed, it was observed that the cholera stool had a lot of grey dots and a lot
of orange and brown clumps. The healthy stool barely had grey dots or only orange and brown
clumps. After viewing and comparing both stool samples, it was determined that the hypothesis
was incorrect because the cholera stool contained many grey dots and healthy stool did not.
Although the cause of cholera was determined, there could have been errors such as there could
have been more information we didn't know about and the observations could have been
different from someone else's. Now that the cause of cholera has been determined to be the grey
dots, it is necessary to start to a new investigation on the cure for cholera.
