Ewwwwwwww

I don't see how it could be very likely, but God, I hope nothing like this ever happens to me:
This nasty rescue is no fish tale.

Rescuers cut through a filtration tank of dense fish feces to reach four workers who fell into the sludgy dung Friday while cleaning the 18-foot tank at a western Massachusetts farm.

The workers became trapped for 45 minutes after a bracket holding a plastic filtration pad collapsed as workers stood on it to clean the fiberglass tank at the Australis Aquaculture fish farm, said Turners Falls Fire Capt. David Dion and the fish farm's manager, Josh Goldman.

One of the farmhands was submerged in what Dion described as a sand-and-feces mix, while the other three had their heads above the sludge, he said.

[...]

"It was very slimy and it was heavy," he said. "Never seen anything like it in my life."
I don't think I could ever take enough showers to feel clean again after something like that.
