What my LFS advised re. ICH

[imw]

Do not raise temp to 30d C as it will "fry the fish" and the best one, White spot comes in on your water supply - they said they went on a "course" where they got this knowledge.

This I assume is "bull manure".

Any got a link to a scientific paper which advocates heat as a treatment please ?
