I think that minimal chance is high enough to where every grower here
would not grow that seed. If I were you Steve, I would not grow it either.
All these minimal chances will come back to bite you if you don't stop
playing the odds.

Exactly, that's why the extensive steps in preventing more insects from
getting infected from my plants. Heck I think there would have been more
spread if I would have pulled and burned the plants in the mid summer, since
there still could have been some plant debris left for insects to eat.
Anyway the chance of getting an infected plant from growing an infected
seed,
as I was told, is minimal.
