The plant is not infected with a virus but shows symptoms of cold water damage on leaves which appear similar to be ringspots caused by some viruses found on African Violets.

My african violets have small white “dust” spots on the leaves.
I was told they were called “ickes”…..what can I do to get rid of this problem? It has already spread to other violet plants.
