Asiatic cholera: Is gastroenteritis caused by Vibrio cholerae which colonises the small inestine. Its toxins stimulate the cells of the mucosal epithelium to secrete fluid, hence the main symptom is rice-water stool.

Differentiation

The Magnolid Clade (Piperales, Laurales, Magnoliales) corresponds to the very early stages of life. CARB-V is indeed found on the Identity row of the periodic table, and like Camphora, suffers fearful visions of the Bardo realm.
The Laurales react to problems by shrinking. They feel impotent and small. In the Piperales there are pleasurable floating (womb-like?) euphoric states [Asar, Kava, Cub].
The Magnoliales are lost and bewildered.
