And the fruit, though not harmful to people, isn\u2019t fit for eating, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt tastes bitter, like medicine,\u201d said Ken Pellman, spokesman for the Los Angeles County agricultural commissioner.<\/p>\n<p>As for the psyllid, it is tiny, Orange County Agricultural Commissioner Jeff Croy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are about the size of an uncooked grain of rice,\u201d Croy said. \u201cMost people looking at the plant, because of their size, would never see them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ruben Arroyo, Riverside County\u2019s agricultural commissioner, said the bug \u201chitchhikes on the leaves\u201d of citrus trees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey actually prefer the new leaf growth,\u201d Croy said. \u201cThat is their favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why officials want people to remove leaves and stems before moving oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits and tangerines.<\/p>\n<p>Pellman said the state\u2019s first infected tree was discovered in\u00a02012\u00a0in the front yard of a Hacienda Heights home. Then all was quiet until 2015, when the disease began to show up elsewhere, he said.<\/p>\n<p>It since has spread to San Gabriel, Norwalk, Pico Rivera, Whittier, Cerritos and other cities, he said.<\/p>\n<p>To the south,\u00a0Orange County has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/2018\/05\/19\/orange-county-citrus-at-a-crossroad\/\">recorded more than 330 tree infections<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 the most of any county,\u00a0Croy said.
