The world's most celebrated athlete standing on the podium in Rio in honor of receiving yet another gold medal has something important in common with your lazy uncle throwing back a cold one in his Barcalounger. Yes, swimming powerhouse Michael Phelps, purple-spotted from cupping therapy, and your slovenly relative with a beer gut both share a bond -- a weakness in succumbing to the allure of voodoo medicine.

Citrus scion/rootstock combinations show tolerance to huanglongbing
Scientists studied tolerance to huanglongbing under field conditions in trees of commercial citrus scion/rootstock combinations.
