Great, idiot right-wingers from the Indiana Congressional delegation once again represent my home state shamefully and tar the image of Indiana through the mud. Burton is a disgrace and represents the darkest form of the War on Drugs. An irrational obsession with the failed project leads to him supporting insane laws such as the one described in the article.

Seems odd to use this fungus, considering half the crops they spray are food anyways. Sounds like a fun way to increase gain imports in the 3rd world. (cough cough, Indiana) Seriosuly, when was Cocain ever a serious issue in Indiana?

It never was, not that I know of. Crystal meth is more of a problem, but that is made in the basements of farmhouses out here, not imported from South America.

Fusarium kerititas is not just any Fusarium. Equating it with the crop-control Fusarium is not accurate. Mutation would only rarely produce the equivalent to F. kerititas from Fusarium adapted to grow on plants.
And such mutations would typically fall far from eyes suitable for its growth. In short, there is virtually no danger that sprays of Fusarium would result in serious eye infections.
