African violet "white dots"

I have a good-looking, blooming African violet which has suddenly come
up with little white dots, a few on some leaves, but mostly down some
stems and at the main stem. I lost a couple of leaves, but not an
unusual amount for a plant this big (about 9"diameter).
Can anyone tell me:
What it is?
is it not a "good thing"? g
and
how to get rid of it/prevent it if it's harmful to the plants or me?
I don't have the problem on any of the other violets. And, I have a
*bunch* of 'em. This one is on one side of the kitchen sink...I have
two other smaller/younger ones on the other side of the sink and they
have no spots. All of them are watered/fed from the bottom.
Puzzled...

If the white dots are fuzzy, it is probably mealy bug. Take a look at
the spots under magnification.
