There are reports coming in about a number of people who became ill from a viral illness (hantavirus) transmitted by deer mice.
These persons became infected during visits made to a wilderness national park, whilst staying in a particular subsection of cabins whose interiors had been contaminated by deer mice.
This illustrates the sundry dangers of wilderness living, let alone making a retreat in a cave when already in a distraught state of mind.
This viral illness (which can be fatal if not DX'd and treated ASAP, was first identified when many people became ill in the Four Corners Area of the US.
As Walter pointed out, cave dwelling is not to be taken lightly. We know only of the few whose accomplisments were considered worth recording. Of the many hundreds and thousands who sickened or went mad and died alone, those went unrecorded.
Maharshi lived in a cave on Mt Arunachala, but a local householder kept a kindly eye on his welfare and at one point, secured him medical attention. Maharshi was one of the lucky ones, though if alive today, he might if not too far out in la la land, deplore how his name has been exploited and commodified and how the area he practiced in and loved, has in his exploited memory, been turned into habitate for spiritual consumers and vulgarian gurus.
