Various caver diseases:

Histoplasmosis from breathing bat Guano, been there, done that
Malaria from sleeping in the jungle: Been there done that
Gangrene from infected leg wound from crawling in really sleazy
probably bacteria paradise mud
Snake bite, fortunately only a rat snake I tried to rescue from a pit
Infection from being barfed on by a buzzard who had her nest in a cave
Skin burned off hands from out of control rappel (my wife)
Broken arm, broken toe, cracked hip from falling rock (my wife)
Arthritic knees and wrists from too much crawling
Intestinal parasites from bad water in Venezuela
Something like Lyme disease from ticks in Belize.
Chronic bad back from being twisted in weird positions for too long
