Cholera

Cholera was a dangerous disease that was present on Toril.
==Acquisition==
Cholera could be acquired from exposure to contaminated water and from miasmal vapors. It could also be transmitted by bites from infected individuals.
==Effects==
Cholera was known to be deadly, and was said to be one of the more dangerous non-magical diseases. Those infected with cholera experienced vomiting. 
==History==
The city of Jitogawa in Kozakura was prone to seasonal outbreaks of cholera, owing to floods from the Shibi Swamp upon which it was built.
Circa , Gosen Tadahiro—a disgraced son of the Kozakuran daimyo of Hira—sought to dig his own burial chamber as part of his repentance, and was consumed by greed upon discovering opals in the ground. He dug hungrily, acquiring a fatal case of cholera as he went, but ignored it and transformed into a shikki-gaki.
The parents of Rathan Thentraver died of cholera in Arabel during the 14 century DR.
As of the 15 century DR, calling someone a "vomit-stained cholera carrier" was an insult to their intelligence.
==Notable Carriers==
In Kara-Tur, cholera was commonly carried and transmitted by goblin rats.
