Andrew, As Lee Corso would say, "Not so fast".....Before you call "ME" stupid, perhaps you need to do some homework of your own. The whole DDT hysteria came about as the result of a book written by Rachel Carson, based on zero scientific data in which she claimed that DDT killed birds, caused cancer and other unproven and still unproven maladys. Environmentalist activists stated their case to a congressional hearing, and no data was presented to support the charge, still EPA director Wm Ruckleshaus ordered the ban without even attending the hearings or reading the transcripts. Now malaria is on the rise worldwide causing countless deaths not to mention West Nile Virus. I can probably get the statistics, but you read the papers. How many human deaths can you attribute to DDT? I can answer that. Zero, Zilch, Nada, in spite of the fact that all prisoners lliberated from natzi concentration camps were bathed in DDT to rid them of lice and other pests. Perhaps this reply doesnt belong here, but Agriculture has taken a big hit die to the ban of DDT.
