In order to minimize the spread of White Nose Syndrome, a fungus that has resulted in the death of over one million bats in the eastern United States, Mammoth Cave National Park has instituted stringent disinfection procedures for all off-trail spelunking tours this summer. Participants on standard on-trail walking tours may be required to undergo minor disinfection procedures upon exiting the cave.
