Well that makes sense. I forget my college microbiology, for cause but the
answer is often found in a broad spectrum antibiotic. Which may be why
chlorox works for so many. Bleach will kill aids virus which is a fragile
virus and itself will die 7 seconds after being in the air. So Rot then is
more complex which leads me to believe it is the result of any bacteria
attack on a rhizome, due to stressors weaking ints own immune system. So i
guess i will obtain a sampls of rot and see what our pathologist will come up
with and let you all know.
The latest rhizomes I received were damp and although I pealed the outside
fans, it was still getting soft a day week later after drying out. So i
peeled more of till there was only one or two left and looked healthy. Will
check and sample.
