Does anyone know anything about tobacco mosaic virus
Comments (3)I know a small amount about TMV, and I know just enough about it to say that if I were you, I'd go ahead and plant the tobacco although not terribly close (I'll explain why in a second) to the tomatoes or peppers or, if you have them, petunias or ground cherries. Maybe not close to eggplant either. Nowadays, most hybrid tomatoes have some degree of resistance to TMV. In fact, TMV generally is not a problem for the average home gardener and hasn't been in quite some time. Nowadays, TMV is largely an issue in large commercial tomato-growing operations where it generally is spead by mechanical means. They no longer think it is necessarily spread as widely by insects as once believed. Regarding the cigarette connection, it depends on the source of tobacco in your cigarettes. For about the last 20 to 25 years or so, tobacco grown in the USA is TMV-tolerant. However, Turkish tobacco is not. Now, about the plants susceptible to TMV infection: there are a lot of them! Many of us grow a lot of plants that can become infected with TMV, although that doesn't necessarily mean they will. Among the plants that can serve as hosts for TMV are tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, petunias, marigolds, snapdragons, and delphiniums. There is also a somewhat lower risk that the following can contract TMV: impatiens, ground cherries, zinnias, phlox, cucurbits like squash, melons and cucumbers, and the whole nightshade family, including daturas like jimsonweed (angel's trumpets). For what it is worth, I grow all kinds of TMV-susceptible plants and I bet I haven't seen 5 cases of TMV in my garden in all the years I've been gardening. Among the plants I commonly grow are several types of nicotianas in my moon garden. Nicotianas are commonly called 'flowering tobacco'. I've never had them show any symptoms of TMV. My brother smokes and that includes smoking while working in his garden and I've never seen TMV on any of his plants either. Earlier, I suggested that if you plant tobacco, you plant it some distance away from your tomatoes and other susceptible plants. The reason for that suggestion is that tobacco hornworms may be attracted to the tobacco plants, and since tomato hornworms already are an issue, why double your trouble by attracting tobacco hornworms too? Now, Cucumber Mosaic Virus is a whole different issue, and there's a Pepper Mosaic Virus too, I think. Cucumber Mosaic Virus is widespead and it is spread by insects, so once it appears in your garden, it can become widespread. I generally don't see it often here, but some folks see it often, maybe even every single year. I believe that often CMV is misdiagnosed as TMV by home gardeners. I think often it takes a plant pathologist to be able to distinguish between the two. Jay may be able to tell you more. I think in his area he may see some CMV and TMV, if not on his plants, then on other folks' plants. Finally, for what it is worth, I have grown tobacco and found it to be a very coarse and ugly plant. And, just to be evil and perverse, I planted it right next to a row of tomato plants. The nearest tomato plant was maybe 3' from it and neither one of them had any disease issues. I didn't think the tobacco was nearly as pleasing in appearance as the nicotianas.

Comments (13)Hmm, I had not read the whole MS page but basically you only need to follow the first 2 instructions. I have never had to use those other instructions myself. Remember that if you get flustered just click the Cancel button to get out of where you are. There is nothing to be afraid of when using System File Checker. You It simply goes through your computer checking all the operating system files and replaces those which are corrupt or missing. The need for the CD is so it can get the needed files to install for you. The slight downside is that it takes the computer back to when your particular CD was created which means you will be behind on security updates and possibly a service pack. No big deal there either, you simply go to the windows update site and the computer grabs whatever it needs. You are doing nothing wrong. Who knows why those files went missing. Perhaps/probably it was due to the power outage. You can of course extract and install each of those files if you wish to avoid using SFC. Follow the instructions here to do that for each file. You do not have to do them all at one time. Try one, see how it goes then do others as you feel up to the task....See MoreAnyone know about Coxsackie virus?
Comments (4)My son and 2 grandsons just had this! They had foot, hand and mouth disease, a strain of the coxsackie disease. My youngest grandson ended up hospitalized with it due to dehydration. This strain is typically suffered during childhood. The dr was surprised that 34 yo son had not been exposed before. Typically, you get a fever, and an itchy rash on hands, feet and in your mouth. All 3 are now losing their toe nails from this. They were pretty sick for about a week. Dd is pregnant and and since she was around her brother's family, her OB checked her and it showed in a blood test that she had been exposed recently. The OB checked with an infectious disease specialist and he said it won't be a problem with the baby because she is far enough along. ( It would be different if she had delivered with it.) I am glad you are checking in with your dr. He should be able to answer all your questions and good luck and Godspeed!...See MoreShang FL09
