Their Dr./commentator called me this morning a few minutes before I had to run into a meeting and wanted to talk about potential diseases the kids may be exposed to in the cave. I talked a little about Histo which he was a aware of but I didn't think that was likely unless it was a significant bat cave. I told him I had never heard of it called cave disease as most people aren't around bat caves and they are much more likely to get it from birds, especially if they are commercially raising birds. He rattled off some other bacteria which I had never heard. I did tell him about E coli O157 H7, crypto, and giardia which are not uncommon in water and how storm water is commonly very high in bacteria. He also asked about rabies which I also told him was unlikely unless they were eating bats. I think he was trying to put a twist on it and I have a feeling it isn't going to go well.
