US Forest Service closing caves...

to combat white-nose syndrome in bats. The fungus causing the large number of bat deaths may be carried from cave to cave by human visitors, on their gear or clothing. I wonder if they've done any actual testing of boots or clothing before implementing these restrictions? Regardless, the caves, and bats, could use a rest from visitation.
