Actually not generally known, but it actually started a year or 2 before on the European Continent *Belgium, Germany, Denmark" area. Recent tests have shown the spores from this bight are extremely fragile once it enters the environment. Knocked down easily by rain, Killed by direct sunlight, etc. Can just spread a few miles on the winds. The biggest mystery is how it crossed the English Channel and infected England and then Ireland with deadly effect.

The "Blood Diamond" campaign makes the Hollywierds feel good. Bottom line / major diamond= market. Been that way for Centuries. If that's what you are referring to. Holy shit, my weather is going ape shit. 40-60 MPH S winds feeding this monster storm. Tornado Watch until Midnight. Looks ugly.

The females can be rather bland but the males are quite striking.

It started in America and crossed the Atlantic on ships. It spreads pretty far on the wind in the right weather conditions.

And it wasn’t just any ships. It was those technological marvels that Spain had that the rest of the world just caught up to a decade ago

It's a little know fact that Norwegian C Cell Battery swallow guano once caused some sort of power outage at a small village called Chernobyl.

The power plant went offline and electricity became scarce and in turn caused massive power bills at a certain Tennessean mansion

The government blamed it on Pennsylvania earthworms chewing through the underground power lines... but we all know the real truth.

Nope. Not even close. Do your own damn research. It came from the Chinchas Islands off of Peru. You know. the only place on Earth that potatoes evolved over thousands of years along with their blights. The spores are extremely fragile. Do some research. I think I'll believe some historical exo- biologists over some one who gets bored with UJR every night and logs off around midnight.

Any way, the whole cause problem is moot. It happened, almost 2 million Irish died of starvation, most of the rest fled to the US and other places. Built our railroads, manned our factories. etc. One last interesting fact to show how traumatic it all was.Of all the nations in Euro-Asia, It's the only country with a lower population today compared to 1800.
