Deer Cave, in Borneo, is home to three million bats. The bats have produced a massive mountain of guano a hundred meters tall covering the cave floor, which sustains the cave ecosystem. The guano is litteraly carpeted by cockroaches and artropods of all kinds, feeding on it.
In order to document this ecosystem, a crew had to spend a lot of time filming inside the cave. In an addendum to the documentary, the crew described their misery in detail -how the guano and the cockroaches got inside their clothes, their underwear, and everywhere else. They had to do this every day for an entire month.
Makes you rethink the whole concept of "being uncomfortable", doesn't it?
