Re: Gov't putting aspergillus on peanuts as pesticide??

[Guest guest]

OMG. I knew I wasn't crazy. But this sure is! If these fools get the idea that

merely substituting one fungus for another is a good idea, then we here are in

for a heap of trouble! Aflatoxins are one thing. Somebody please tell me how my

body is supposed to be able to distinguish one strain of aspergillus from

another, now that I am sensitized to it. I can just see it now - " No, no!

You're just paranoid. This is the GOOD Aspergillus. Worked out so well, we're

planning to apply it to other crops. "
