Many of those caves have bats... I wonder if the ticks are on the bats? Very weird.

I guess so too. Bats can have ticks like birds can have ticks. Why not?
And they drop when they are engorged. And lay their eggs there, then. If you are unlucky to pass there, they may attach to boots and then climb, till they bite you.
They only found the zeropositive people. If the tests are bad as for Borrelia and coinfections, it means there are probably many more people ill....
that's why I say, the only way out from insect born diseases is to boost your immune system and clean your body so that it works better.
How many more diseases will we find active in ticks and mosquitoes in the next years?
Just see what's going on in Brazil, it's crazy. More and more insect born diseases killing people....
