Before you get too excited over this wait and see if you get EB again next time it rains. I have just removed the leaves infected and had good results until the next rain that carried EB. I don't get EB every time it rains but when I do it usually affects a lot of the plants at the same time. If the infected leaves are not removed it will definitely spread and sometimes very fast. I have had EB show up twice on some of my plants this season and both times the outbreak happened soon after a light rain. I removed any affected leaves right at the stem and used either Daconil or copper spray and it seemed to stop it in its tracks both times. Since I have had an unusually dry season with few showers EB hasn't been much of a problem this year but in years with regular rain patterns it can be a real problem so I hope your treatment works because as an arthritis sufferer I have lots of aspirin ready to go.
