On a more serious note...
Nature can be cruel sometimes but you'll get through it! Is rot fairly common in your area?
To be honest I don't really talk to local people about growing, but I'd assume so. Powdery mildew is a major problem for me on zucchini and tomatoes. I assume this likes similar conditions?
It's all mold, more or less likes the same stuff. Too wet, too warm, no airflow, etc etc.
