CHOLERA

History

The word cholera is from Greek word ‘kholera’. The disease first spread by trade routes (land & sea) to Russia in 1817, then to Western Europe, & from Europe to North America.

In Russia alone, between 1847 & 1851, more than one million people perished of the disease. It killed 150,000 Americans during the second pandemic between 1900 & 1920, perhaps eight million people died of cholera in India.

John Snow, in 1854, was the first to identify the importance of contaminated water in its cause. Cholera is now no longer considered a pressing health threat in Europe & North America due to filtering & chlorination of water supplies, but still heavily affects populations in developing countries. Last two year many people die of cholera in western region of Nepal.

Introduction

Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibro Cholerae. Most persons infected with V. cholera do not become ill, although the bacterium is present in their feces for 7-14 days. Less than 20% of ill person develop typical cholera with signs of moderate or severe dehydration.

Facts about penis size

          Even in this supposedly enlightened century, men worry about penis size. Though the vast majority of guys have more than enough bulk to perform well as lovers, there is a widespread masculine obsession that 'more would be better'.

Size matters

          To the average man, his penis is, consciously or unconsciously, one of the most important things in the whole world. At an early age he discovers it and immediately becomes fascinated by it. But then a note of uncertainty enters his mind: 'Isn't mine rather small?' Look at Dad's, look at big brother's, look at those in the men's changing room - and he asks himself if he will be as big as that. And so he goes on through life, always a tiny bit sensitive about the size of his organ, always convinced that it would be nicer if it were just that little bit longer.

A question of perspective

          The trouble is that every man sees his own penis in a foreshortened view. The angle at which you look down inevitably makes your penis seem shorter than it is. But when you glance at another man's organ, there's no such foreshortening effect, so very often it'll look as though the other guy is slightly better endowed. A lifetime of comparison of this can easily make you feel a bit inadequate. But it's important to realize the facts about penis length.
