It can be crazy dangerous, though. Bats, for all their wondrous mosquito fighting power, have truly bizarre immune systems that give rise to some of the deadliest diseases known to man, from being a suspected source of Covid to Ebola.
Appreciate the bats, protect them, but keep your distance.
This phrase actually comes from a treatment method for (what is now believed to be) CTE injuries sustained during war in ancient Greece. CTE causes erratic, often violent, behavior. When the personality changes would begin, one would be laid out on the table and covered from head to toe in a mixture of bat guano and mud, which would then be left to dry. The ammonia gas released was thought to purify the body and mind and help cure the disease. Hence, "batshit" was used to treat "crazy".

I say the same thing about my farts. Every other person on this planet sees (or smells) it differently.
