Is powdery mildew on dandelions safe for my dragon (after I clean the leaves)?

[Scotjess]

Hi all!
I've just signed up because I have a question I can't find an answer to.
I'm growing dandelions for me beardie Karl, he likes them a lot which is great for staple veggie.
But I always have to throw a lot of it as it gets powdery mildew. I don't want to use chemicals to kill it as I don't want that in Karl's food.
Is the powdery mildew safe for Karl (provided I clean the leaves well, which I do in any case)?
If not, is there a way to avoid it?
Note: Karl has issues with yeast that took a long time to clear (don't know if that makes a difference).
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for that. I hope someone knows.

Thank you for that. I hope someone knows.

This is what she had to say
Probably not safe, no need to chance it with plenty of other options for feeding.

Would anyone know how to stop the mildew from happening? I've changed the soil, cleaned the pots. I thought it had worked this time, but it's come back... Dandelions are Karl's favourite, so I'll keep growing them. Would be nice not to have to chuck so much out.
Thank you again

I dont have a green thumb ---- have you tried googling it and found some answers that way -- ? I am waiting to hear back from one other person -- see if they know anything about how to stop the mildew

Are you growing this in your yard?

No, in pots on the windowsill.

So I have only heard back from one person of the two I asked -- she has said try growing them elsewhere - the only thing I can think of its too humid where your growing them

I'm in Glasgow, so it's often wet. Might need to try to get a grow light, so I can put the next pots away from the windowsill. Karl loves those, so I'm gonna try again. I'm gutted after I thought it was gone this time.
