Caitilyn Allen, professor emeritus of plant pathology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, believes the case is being “Hyped up a little bit.”
Allen said before this, she had never heard anyone in the scientific community characterize Fusarium graminearum as a “terrorism agent.”
She said the U.S. has a list of high-concern plant pathogens, and this one is not one of them. It’s also not on the list of potential agroterrisom concerns.
“I think their intention was to work on it in a lab that is studying plant immunity to diseases. So, this was not following the regulations. Humans have moved pathogens around in the past, and it’s caused trouble. So, we have USDA regulations, and other countries do too, to try to minimize the chances,” Allen said.
Allen said the fungus poses no direct threat to human health but can produce a toxin that affects livestock.
“It’s actually a very common and widespread fungus that attacks mostly wheat and barley. It’s found in, I think, in 32 American states. So, we are not talking about something that’s been introduced by China. People should not be freaking out. It’s already here, but it is a problem for farmers. It can reduce yield significantly,” Allen said.

You two are what might be termed examples of a "fungus" among us on the Open Forum ;-)
This is why you should keep the Red Baron on ignore. Haven’t read his crappy since 2017.

Yes. No excuse. And don't think COVID was an accident either.
