      Well- they’re both not fun. Cholera is caused by a bacteria and leads to intense vomiting and diarrhea- you can get so dehydrated that you actually die! Malaria is caused by protists (single celled organisms) in a mosquito- the parasites attack your red blood cells (the cells that bring oxygen to the rest of your body) which causes fever, headaches, shaking chills and can lead to coma and death! I wouldn’t recommend either.
