Really dumb question...using wood that is "infected"

[busmania]

I posted a local add looking to take down a tree or two for wood for my smoker.  I found a peach tree but they told me it is half dead and infected with a bug.  I assume after seasoning this is no problem?  I will leave it outside for at least 6 months before moving into my shed to finish seasoning.  Thanks, and again, I think I know the answer (that it is just fine) but want to make sure since family eats my food! 

The person said it was "attacked by a tree borer"
