So like how Ebola spreads got it, not very improbable at all Dead viruses and bacteria are resurrected just be being exposed to a single live version of itself

  You'll notice there's not much Ebola in the world. Despite the sensationalist "Hot Zone" journalism around it, it's not a serious threat in first world countries. The reason is precisely because the precautions one needs to take to avoid it are just basic hygiene that we take for granted. > Dead viruses and bacteria are resurrected just be being exposed to a single live version of itself Did you read the article I linked? Perhaps you should have told that to the scientists who tried but failed to culture frozen organisms. If they can't culture it in a lab, then the chances of it reviving on its own in the wild are very low. I can't believe we're discussing a literal X-Files plot as though it's scientifically realistic.

Pretty cool It still only takes 1 live compatible one to come in contact with the frozen organism that still has enough biological data intact. There are so many organisms in the soil that we don't know about such that I don't consider it improbable.
