Aug 24, 2016 at 14:12 comment added Spacemonkey I once asked on WB about something similar in having a species develop crazy good night vision but crappy day vision (essentially) and while the question itself wasn't that exceptional, it did lead to very interesting research on cones, rods etc... since each species sees differently based on their eyes you enter a philosophical debate on how to make sure everyone sees the same black/white on your planet BUT this answer directly adresses and solves all of that. Aliens/Humans w/e, the bacteria affects rods and cones, and thus all, not just humans.
