The US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) has called for a moratorium on caving activities in the affected areas, and strongly recommends that any clothing or equipment used in such areas be decontaminated after each use.

White-nose syndrome
The white-nose syndrome is a fungal disease affecting bats, caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans. This disease is named for the characteristic white fungal growth on the noses and wings of infected bats. It has led to significant declines in bat populations in North America.
No one knows. However, scientists are working hard trying to find it!
They closed caves to help stop the spread of the white-nose sydrum.
It's a fungal infection but I don't know if the "white stuff" is the fungus itself or dead skin-cells.
A special I just watched on PBS says that it is not spread from bats to humans.
White Nose Syndrome in bats - a fungal infection. As well as being debilitating anyway I suspect it may be worse for the Horseshoe Bat on which the characteristic nose-leaf is a critical part of the animal's navigating and hunting echo-location.
If you touch your nose you'll see that the area in which nose pierces are typically done is not a flat area. The area itself is inclined. Therefore, in order to have nose studs lay flat on you nose, the piercer will match the angle of the piercing to the incline of your nose. This results in almost all nose piercings being done at an angle.
