Question: what would happen if someone got a disease from the wheat?

It would be the first time it’s ever happened so we would probably do lots of experiments to find out how it happened and how to stop it from happening again! All the diseases that wheat gets can’t transfer to humans. Wheat and humans are very different – I mean, obviously they look different but their DNA is really really different so it would be very difficult for any wheat disease to also affect humans! I’ll let you know if I ever get infected 😀
