Hi Chris
I read with appreciation your remedy for "Nosema" usually confused with
diarrhea. Acetic Acid ? Where do you buy the stuff? Would Clorox do the
trick? I know a bk which uses Clorox to treat AFB. I have no idea whether
it works. (I doubt it since no website visitors or research people mention
it ). I would think that a mike in school would not be magnifying enough to
see the spores. We used a stereo 1000 x magnification to spot a spore and
it had to be pointed out to me (And others). An adjacent pollen particle
looked like a mountain relative to the size of the spore, a molehill.
Another item comes to mind and that is the constant misapplication of
antibiotics with your apt example. An antibiotic is applied in specific
doses over a specific time, no more no less. I am unable to figure the
reasoning behind the application method of Fumidil other than the
application of this stuff is immaterial. And IF it is, then it is not an
antibiotic.
Any comments ?
Helmut
