I'm just curious. Has anybody on this list ever actually personally had
their chile plants afflicted with TMV? Every few months these flames are
fanned between those recommending the use of tobacco products as
insecticides and those warning of the dire and evil consequences that will
befall anone who even thinks about tobacco (I found the tobacco - Ebola
comparison particularly amusing). I don't mean folks who know neighbors,
family members or others that have had TMV problems, I've not heard a
single person on this list who actually lost chiles to this disease.
Anyone?
