I've had Monarchs infected with OE both at the house and at the museum. Our latest batches have been ok but we made sure to scrub everything. Remember, it's a spore so it travels by latching onto the cats, eggs, butterflies. I suspect even the plants hold some spores on them. We used bleach or white vinegar to clean everything with. If you suspect your plants, you can shear them down and milkweed will come back really fast.

In happy news, my first Black ST emerged yesterday. I actually had two. Mom is on vacation so I took them to work with me because I knew they were going to come out. This one is chilling on an African Violet leaf from the plant on my desk.
