I would love to know exactly how common Weill's disease is,

Very rare, only a real danger to people like cavers and sewer workers.

Not that much of a danger for cavers either. It's at the level of 'you
should be aware of this possibility' - in other words, cover any open
wounds, showers asap afterwards, and see the doctor if you get flu like
symptoms a fortnight later. None of the cavers I know (most of whom cave
a lot more than I do) have had it, AFAIK.
