makes me wonder if this ebola fungus could have lived long enough to hitchhike overseas to puna on some of the mainland geothermal drilling equipment?
Have you ever heard of water well drillers spreading anything around the island? They drill a new well in a different location every couple of days, and I don't believe they've ever been accused of spreading any plant diseases. Hypothetically, even if there was a fungus on drilling equipment it rapidly heats up to of hundreds of degrees as it drills through lava, killing anything on it.
If the fungus was imported, a more likely method was on the hiking boots of someone who entered an active fungus area on the mainland, then hiked through an ohia forest.
gypsy, what do think about the Protectors mobilizing their vast network of 60,000+ Facebook supporters to crowd-source a solution? Have they contacted you?
