Cave explorers commonly get rabies prophylaxis as you can apparently catch it from the air without even being touched by a bat or their saliva.

Isn't that what happened to one of these guys? It is reported that one of them caught the fungus due to inspecting his attic (hadn't used the guano yet).

Fungus is bad, but rarely kills healthy adults. These guys weren’t healthy.

Rabies is entirely another matter.
