The big DDT scare was concocted by the envirowhackos who WANT more people to die from disease and starvation in order to reduce the number of humans, whom they regard as an infestation on the earth. Well, all humans except THEM, of course.
“The big DDT scare was concocted by the envirowhackos”
Old college buddy of mine is from India. He’d be about 42yo, give or take. Told me his experience with DDT when he was a kid. He said, the first year and the second year were great — no bugs anywhere. Then the third and fourth year, the cats and dogs started dying off. Then the fifth year, the bugs came back impervious to the stuff.
DDT can be really useful stuff — but you can’t just spray it indiscriminately. You wind up poisoning everything, and the bugs evolve immunity fairly fast. You have to spray the right amount, at the right places, and so on. The problem with DDT was that untrained people were using it, and using it wrong.
I guess a lot of places where it’s illegal now are looking at bringing it back.
