    Yes, it is called Chytrid fungus. This is old news. If you're into reptiles IDK how you can't know this. This fungus is spreading throughout the world and kills fast. Many species of frog have become extinct because of it.

    I didn't know it.

    I think jason makes a great point in this video. Introducing an experimental bacteria into wild populations is just asking for disaster to strike. Humans have a long history of faliure with introducing any sort of species into an environment to try and fix a problem that ends up becoming a bigger problem itself. You'd think we would have learned by now.

    Thanks for the support. A lot of conversation went on about this on the comments on the video page. Apparently this was not as experimental as the article I got made it sound. I am still not sure if I agree with it but some good points were made.
