Known for its aphrodisiac properties, Yarsagumba, popularly known as the Himalayan viagra, is only found in the Himalayan range above 10,000 feet. At least eight people, including a toddler accompanying his mother, died in one week while collecting the unique caterpillar-fungus fusion. While five pluckers died of altitude sickness, two fell off a cliff while plucking.
