  Sure. Please note that an official metastudy proving this has not come out, so you’ll have to do some dot connecting yourself.

  “Thermodynamic Studies of the Mechanism of Metal Binding to the Escherichia coli Zinc Transporter YiiP” www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6347980/

  “Association of Appendicitis Incidence With Warmer Weather Independent of Season” www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9530968/

  “Association of the Bacteria of the Vermiform Appendix and the Peritoneal Cavity with Complicated Acute Appendicitis in Children” www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10252422/#:~…

  “Metabolic analysis of acute appendicitis by using system biology approach” www.sciencedirect.com/…/S0021925819755392

  "As it is appeared in the table 2, concentration alteration of other metal ions such as sodium, zinc, and potassium are related to appendicitis. "

  “Zinc intake ameliorates intestinal morphology and oxidative stress of broiler chickens under heat stress” www.frontiersin.org/journals/immunology/…/full

  “As shown in Fig. 2A, Zn2+ titrations began with an exothermic heat reaction, which was followed by a late endothermic reaction. This characteristic exothermic-to-endothermic transition suggests the presence of at least two sets of independent Zn2+ binding sites, accounting for the exothermic and endothermic heat reactions, respectively.”

  Basically, not only should we all be supplementing with zinc during hotter months, but also this has indications for the purpose of the appendix and possibly a way to make air conditioning out of our feces.
