               Had squash bugs and they damaged a few leaves.  Have taken care of the bugs.  Do I remove the leaves which were damaged by the bugs or do I leave them?   Any advise would be great and much appreciated.

               I would take them out because the bugs can carry disease and it may spread.
  I cut with clean knife. If it is dry I do not treat. If just after rain I sprinkle small amount of sulfer to stop rot.
  I am a novice grower.

               Thank you.  I think you are correct.
