People here have a rare disease, 10% of the population does not see colors, everything is seen in black and white

Island of the Colorblind: There are many strange places in the world, about which we either do not know anything or have very little information. But when we hear about them, we are surprised. We are forced to think that is there any such place where such people also live? Today we are going to tell you about one such place. 10 percent of the population living here does not see colors like us and you. They see everything black and white. Let us know, where is this place and why people are facing this problem…

We are talking about Pingelap Island in the Pacific Ocean. According to National Geography, this place is also called Color Blindness Island. It is said that in the year 1975 there was a devastating storm, in which most of the people living here were swept away. Only 20 people were left. That too because these people had gone out somewhere. There was also a king among them. Today even after hundreds of years, the people of this place are struggling with a rare genetic disease. A part of this area is a victim of color blindness. That is, the people here do not see colors.

1 in 30,000 people have problems
This disease is reaching people from generation to generation. According to National Geography, even today, this gene is present in about 10 percent of the population here. In the language of medical science, it is called complete achromatopsia. One in 30,000 people in the world have this type of problem, but a large number of people are victims of it at one place on this island. However, now some people claim that they feel some changes in red or blue color. But still not fully visible. Here about 8 percent of men and one percent of women have this problem. They only see black and white.

color pictures not recognized
A few years ago, a Belgian photographer (Sanne De Wilde) tried to know the reality by going among them. He created pictures that showed the world as a color blind person could see it. Some were completely black and white and some were colored. But most of the people could not recognize the colour. Actually, in such a situation people do not see any color at all. Due to the absence of color cone cones, they can see only black, white and gray colors clearly. Let us tell you that people suffering from achromatopsia are very sensitive to light. According to research published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, from what has been seen so far, it seems that this gene was present in the people here even before the storm. Perhaps the reason for this may be natural.
