The insect/bacteria I haven't experienced though.... and also haven't heard of stories of that happening...
I do know that there's some type of fish in the Amazon that does swim into those "tubes" and have seen documentaries about it in Brazil. Suriname is part of the Amazon though, but haven't heard any stories about that type of fish in our waters. I should ask my friends who work in the jungle.
Yes please and oooooh you have friends that work in the jungles???
What do they do and can I come too?
So one or two studied Geology who work for an NGO. They regularly go to the deep jungles and sometimes their (food) ration ran out, so they had to eat fish and meat from the region.
So, I know some who went with them to the villages in the South and who I think volunteered on some projects. I think one has to ask and make a good case about the "why?" Although, I think they might have restricted the flow of humans in the region because of the Rona measures ☹️.
