Is the disease organism actually absorbed into the hops during growth? Does 
it survive and reproduce in the hop tissue? Since hops used in brewing are 
from the terminal buds of the plant what is the method of conveyance from the 
soil to those plant parts? Salmonella and other nastiness also survive in the 
soil but I have never seen any one say not to eat potatoes because harmful 
bacteria exists naturally or unnaturally in a soil. Chemicals, yes, but not 
disease vectors that occur normally there.
