You mention the Gulf of Mexico. A friend of ours recently has his whole family catch cholera from swimming on the beach in Galveston. They’re fine and all made full recoveries, as it isn’t lethal if properly treated. But yes, in the Year of Our Lord 2024, you can catch literal cholera just by going to the beach in Texas.
