Time reported that Nepal Officials are having a hard time with human poop from hikers in the world's highest peak.
That's right, we humans have officially become a threat to locals and the place alike by pooping.
“It is a health hazard and the issue needs to be addressed,”
Interesting enough, the problem was reported and nothing can be done yet.
“Climbers usually dig holes in the snow for their toilet use and leave the human waste there,” Tshering said, adding that the waste has been “piling up” for years around the four camps.
Hundreds of climbers a year go to the Everest and use it as a toilet. The temperature and location make it very hard for that excrement to disperse or be used so instead it's pilling up.
Who knows... maybe in 300 years Everest will be a bit bigger, stinkier and closer to humans.
