Scientists Use 'Saunas' to Help Endangered Frogs Fight Deadly Fungus Amid Amphibian Extinction Crisis
Jun 26, 2024, 11:42 PM
Scientists have developed a novel approach to combat a deadly fungal disease affecting endangered frogs by creating 'saunas' that expose the amphibians to heat. This method helps the frogs rid themselves of the chytrid fungus, which cannot survive in high temperatures. The purpose-built 'frog saunas' allow amphibians to warm up during winter, effectively baking off the infection. This innovative solution aims to address the amphibian extinction crisis caused by the fatal fungal disease.
