I remember naming one of my Oregon Trail characters "God". The words "God has cholera" still make me laugh, and this just reminded me.

The article is f**ing scary...
Testing indicated that the cholera strain that the travelers brought home was a particularly nasty one. V. cholerae O1, which is linked to other recent outbreaks in Eastern and Middle Africa, is resistant to a wide variety of antibiotics, namely: fluroquinolones, trimethoprim, chloramphenicol, aminoglycosides, beta-lactams, macrolides, and sulphonamides. The strain also carried a separate genetic element (a plasmid) that provided resistance mechanisms against streptomycin and spectinomycin, cephalosporins, macrolides, and sulphonamides.

Maybe they should have used some of that very profane UV light on their holy water, to make it safe, not just holy.
