Tomato late blight West MI 2009

[MJB1910]

I HATE LATE BLIGHT -- i got maybe one tomato and the weather stared to cool next thing i see brown spots every where even on green tomatos, and I had like 6 heirloom plants grown from seed since december (which was really early). I was sooo mad, so this year Im trying to grow them in pots, hoping it will help.

The tomatoes on late blight infected plants tend to also get infected and rot and although they probably don't do any physiological damage to a human the secondary bacteria that infect the tomato might sicken a person just due to the texture/consistency of the tomato and possibly some secondary toxins produced by bacteria. In short, rarely edible.

If a plant has late blight, does that mean the tomatos on it are safe to eat ?
