Whilst we are on the subject, BAJRites might be interested in this article dating from 1985. It summarises the dangers of potential health hazards to archaeologists (and somehow forgets to mention letospirosis!).
Most interesting is the last sentence of the article: 'The Council for British Archaeology (CBA) booklet on safe working practice in excavations is now out of print and there is a gap that should not be hard to fill given the number of doctors with an interest in the subject'

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
