If that is the accepted explanation then... I have had "work disease," "marital disease" and "Mexican-food disease," and "Mexican water disease," and most of all "surface disease." I have not taken anti-biotics in at least 20 years. Not sure if I believe in them. But I do like yogurt.

Could "cave disease" be the English translation of whatever Thai dialect might be used locally? While in English speaking countries we speak in shaded and well defined terms and Linnean hierarchies, it seems likely that, in a less technological society, everything bad associated with a cave

It seems plausible that the Thai boys entered the cave with pre-existing conditions. And that they went in already malnourished. The limits to their immune-system were likely pushed beyond anything normal people have ever experienced ( something like trench-warfare ). They had no earthly idea

Something seems fishy with media coverage of the rescue. It was first reported that the Coach came out with the first group since he was in bad shape because he gave all of his food and water to the boys. Almost immediately, the media all reported that the Coach was still in. But . . .  they
