Comment on Why is there such a negative connotation with the poos of horses, bulls, and bats?

Bat shit is pretty toxic, and while individual poo is small, bat colonies are absolutely massive and the shit literally piles up as up to millions of bats poop in the same place night after night.

Iirc, the phrase “bat shit crazy” comes from the harvesting of tropical bat guano (poop) for use as a fertliser. The poop is highly toxic, or contains toxic bacteria, which makes the harvesters go a little crazy! Not all bat species have this toxic poop.
