Two cases of rabies have been attributed to probable aerosol exposures in laboratories, and two cases of rabies have been attributed to possible airborne exposures in caves containing millions of free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) in the Southwest. However, alternative infection routes cannot be discounted.

    Mexico does in fact have regulations against operations like the one you are describing, because they are harmful to the environment.

    Enforcing these regulations can be challenging, but I’ve seen people lose everything they own over similar violations.

    For example, some Americans opened an Airbnb cabin operation on protected land near by where my mama lives. They ran the operation for about a year before the government caught whiff of it. One of the owners ended up with jail time because the land they destroyed to build those ugly-ass cabins was endangered salamander habitat.

    The cabins got torn down and now that area is managed by the local university for wilderness restoration research.
