I put a dubious assertion tag in the "Predisposing Factors" section because this refers to the questionable idea that ich lurks in every aquarium waiting to be unleashed. This article disputes that claim:
ich does not have a dormant stage, only way to get ich is to somehow introduce it into an aquarium: new fish (most common), plants (there could be one in the dividing phrase attached to a leaf) or water from another tank with ich. also it could be possible for it to reappear if you didnt treat it properly the first time, one of them survives and finds a fish and the whole story starts over again —Preceding

Dormant is not exactly Dormant...
This article states that while the ich is actually ON the fish, there is no way to kill it.
However, the life cycle of ich requires the white spots to die while the children go to the bottom and multiply.
Or something like that.
Anyway, the treatments don't actually kill the adult spots, but their offspring for several generations in a row, and eventually the parent white spots attempt to procreate and die off naturally. — Preceding

"Original Research" tag
I'm cleaning up the perceived original research.
The veterinary article that I'm citing suggests quarantining plants for four days, presumably to break the cycle of transmission.
