The last I heard the total death toll from the massive tidal wave is well
over 100,000. Worse is that many more are likely to die from disease.
One of those diseases is malaria, which has been killing millions since
the banning of DDT worldwide. Most people have heard the reasons for the
ban, but were those reasons based on sound science or hysteria?

Here are some links to articles that think it was not correct to ban DDT.

Since DDT in tiny amounts can be an effective repellant, do we not owe it
to the people suffering from the effects of the Tsunami, to allow them a
better chance at survival by letting them use DDT to help keep them from
being killed by Malaria?


Being against the DDT ban is certainly an odd position for a bug eater to
take.

Nice to know we can count on you for one of your "intelligent" responses.
