This document provides a summary of Mark Crislip's presentation at the 2015 Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America conference. It discusses various infections associated with exposure to water sources like holy springs, as well as infections transmitted by animals and pets. Specific cases described include a patient who developed Aeromonas hydrophilia from exposure to contaminated water, an outbreak of Cryptococcus gattii infections associated with bark dust in Canada, and a case of Brucella infection transmitted through imported goat cheese. The document emphasizes knowing where different pathogens are endemic and asking patients detailed questions about exposures to make accurate diagnoses.
