Funny, the citrus industry headquarters in Winter Haven, FL are not alarmed of this 'germ'. There are plenty of herbicides that are not banned in this state unlike Cali that can eradicate all kinds of pests. Non-story here.

Herbicides don't kill bacteria. Effective antibiotics and/or bacteriocides are limited. The disease has a long latent phase. This is a political, not just epidemiological, hot potato in FL.

The story is about Florida, and judging from your use of the word herbicide, a bomb could go off in your room without alarming you.

Have some coffee before posting.

I suggest you read the article before making such an uninformed comment.
