Is there a report on occupational diseases linked to a career in
archaeology? I remember talk of a desert fever back in the 80's and a
colleague recently suggested a lifetime in the sun leads to cataracts, and
I always assumed there would be bad knees or backs as we aged and perhaps a
high rate of skin cancer, but is any of this true? And how about higher
rates of Lyme disease?
