Brown rugose virus

I thought I'd share an article that I found on this topic. Has anyone taken any precautions? I'm no longer adding any store-bought tomatoes to my compost and scrubbing my hands before handling my seeds or seed trays if I've previously handled store-bought tomatoes.

Sometimes I save seeds from store bought but I am not going to do that anymore. I will be watchful of country of origin on seed purchases where need be. I feed my chickens and pigs leftover store bought tomatoes...but now I am wondering if that is a bad idea....if I can grow my own tomatoes year round, then I will stop buying commercial tomatoes completely. I am hoping micro dwarves can fill the bill.
I read that you can make a mild disinfectant from lysol, bleach and milk if need be. Also read that disinfecting seeds before planting may be helpful.

That's a good article. Thanks for posting. Ugly!

I've not heard of it before, looks like a nasty one. Thank you for the link to the article.
