Grasserie infected silkies

[dodolah]

I was wondering what would happened if you accidentally feed a silkie that has been infected by grasserie (during the early symptoms) to your chameleon?

can they infect your chameleon somehow?

Thanks guys

I fed lots of mine off still with it. I didn't know what grasserie was until long after Id been feeding them. No issues though

Its a nasty little silkworm virus, try this link. My first two silkworm batches had it. Now that I know what it is I wash my hands religiously before handling, so far so good
