If in fact she has Late Blight, it is important to find out which strain.
The "old fashioned" strain of Late Blight can be managed to some extent by
preventative sprays of chlorothalonil. The newer strain is almost completely
untouched by the chemical. Once the disease is noted it is too late to do
anything, and because of the virulence of the disease and its ability to
travel great distances on the wind, the recommendation is to destroy the
plants.
I would urge any person with suspected Late Blight to contact their
University Plant Pathologist immediately.
