I don't like the angle of the title either.
And as far as I know, the hallmark symptom of cholera is diarrhea, not vomiting (although there might be some vomiting involved). But then again, I guess you wouldn't want flowery diarrhea on the cover of a book.

Not unless you have lots of tp, which then again might be pretty cool as the first tear-out pages at the beginning of the book...that and a HUGE booster....
