"those are sick people."

If anybody is pathologic, it is you. You're acting like DDT is the only mosquitocide in the entire universe. You're also telling everybody that you don't know DDT is being used in Africa and Latin America.

SOME PESTICIDES IN USE AROUND THE WORLD







INSECTICIDES

DDT - Banned for crop use in the U.S. since 1972, DDT is still used in many countries. DDT contamination has led to the rejection of beef shipments to the U.S. from Mexico, El Salvador, and Guatemala. In 1976, 500,000 pounds of beef from El Salvador was rejected for DDT levels of 95 ppm (the acceptable U.S. level is 5 ppm). In Guatemala, the average level of DDT in cows' milk is 90 times that allowed in the U.S. Residents of Guatemala and Nicaragua carry 31 times more DDT in their blood than those of the U.S. In Central America, DDT levels in human milk are from 6-200 times higher than those in the U.S. India, like many other countries, produces its own DDT, and U.S. companies continue to export it. DDT causes cancer in experimental animals.
