Cholera
Short answer
Vomiting after drinking biologically unsafe water makes cholera a major suspect. Stop risky intake, take tiny sips/bites, and use the verified cholera treatment route.
Also: cholera · sick from water · dirty water sickness
What to do
Stop drinking from the suspect source. Use small sips and bites to avoid repeated vomiting. Apply verified cholera medication. Replace or purify contaminated water before reuse.
How it works
Cholera is strongly associated with contaminated water. Vomiting can quickly undo hydration gains, so survival during treatment depends on controlled intake as well as medicine.
