-->Hey, you could try going unshaved and unwashed for a while, and I'll bet you get your wish..! *snort* hee-yuk-yuk!!
As for the final analysis, mon amie, the thrips were never bad enough to even really stress the plants, much less take out the root system (they don't feed there; during pupation they're immobile and helpless)... what happened is 100% to blame on that f*ucking oil spray- fry the leaves, and the plant goes into heavy shock, like losing major organs, which is what leaves are after all; energy production, water/gas exchange, hormone regulation centers, etc. etc.,... and then, you're right- some gets washed down to the roots, but at that point it's like a blast to the bollocks on their way down,... Plants usually don't do anything fast, even dying, but those poor lass's went down faster than Round-Up would have killed them! I
suspect that the spice oils are actually toxic if they get into the plants interior tissues as well, speeding death along further..... no mon,... I'm po-zha-teev abou' dis,...

So, right then,... stiff upper lip, untangle your clock weights, and carry on Jeeves......
