New danger on Mount Everest mountain of diseases being prepared due to sneezing and coughing of climber

Researchers have found that climbers left microbes almost everywhere, which spread all around. The team found that some micro-organisms seem to have evolved.

Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, has always been full of thrill and adventure for climbers. During this, they carry many essential things ranging from food items. However, during this time they not only leave their scattered belongings on Everest but also leave something else which can have serious consequences. A new study has found that when someone sneezes or coughs on Mount Everest, the germs can survive and thrive in the snow for centuries.

The researchers said that climbers are leaving behind a frozen legacy of microbes, which lie dormant in the soil for decades or centuries at this high peak. The study highlights the impact of rapid tourism on Everest's cold and fragile climate. The study, published in Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine Research, says little is known about the microbes found on Earth's highest mountains, how they reach these surfaces and how they survive at such high altitudes. remain active.

Research senior author Steve Schmidt says that a human signature has accumulated in Everest's microbiome. Researchers used next-generation gene sequencing technology to analyze soil from the height of Mount Everest to glean new information about almost everything and anything in it.

Microorganisms spread all over Everest

It has been told in the research that the researchers have found that the climbers left microorganisms almost everywhere, which spread around and accumulated at the nearby camp. The team found that some micro-organisms seem to have evolved. The researchers used gene sequencing and traditional culture techniques to sample the DNA of almost any living or dead microbes in the soil.
