Scientists say that what's inside this cave should never be released. Kittum Cave is located in Mt. Elgon, Kenya, and is believed to be the source of the Marburg virus and potentially even Ebola. Two of the deadliest diseases known to men. In the 1980s, two European visitors contracted the Marburg virus after entering the cave, which for perspective can have a fatality rate of up to 88%. A Frenchman visited the cave in the same year, and shortly after fell ill and died. Seven years later, a 50-year-old Danish boy enters, only to see the same demise as the previous time. They sparked so much fear that an expedition was staged by the US military in the 1990s. In an attempt to identify vector species, which are living organisms that transmit infectious agents from animals to humans. That were presumably residing in this cave. In 1994, a best-selling book was written about it titled The Hot Zone. It's become known as one of the most dangerous places on Earth.
