Well known. My point, however, was the variance in state laws from mandatory
burning in some states, to laissez faire in others. If the case is isolated,
burning the whole thing is the best idea. But if the spores have already
spread throughout the entire outfit, that's another matter. Believe me,
there are plenty of operations like that out there
