Break Out the Hazmat Suits!

So this pops ups in the garden:

I ask the expert (botanist wife), "what the bleep is that? Is that a daffodil?" Expert says, "looks like a mutant." I say, "a mutant! What the h*ll! What do you mean mutant?" Expert says, "It's probably a virus caused mutation." I say, "plants get viruses!!? WTF! Is it contagious?" Expert says, "of course it's contagious, how do you think it got it?"

If you can get viruses from birds who says you can't get them from plants.

P.S. Just as a curiosity; when tulips "break" and produce stunning mutations that previously made them outrageously valuable it was due to a virus: Tulip breaking virus - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

And in other news, the Human Genome project has determined that at least 50% of the "silent" human DNA is viral in origin.

So, if you feel you lack a purpose in life, take solace in being a receptacle for a lot of virion DNA sequences.

Jason - too late. "they" are already in you.

Send in the agents from SHIELD!

Then there is always the HIFIVE team - Hazard Investigation for Floral Involved Viruses in the Environment.
