This could have been halted had not DDT been banned due to the actions by the wacko environmentalists.

50 million lives have been lost due to banning DDT!

Great Im in one of those counties. I guess I’d better not get pregnant.

[Ditter]

I have seen pictures of people with small heads that look like the ones affected by Zika. Is there another cause of the small head syndrome or is it always and only caused by Zika?

A 1972 insecticide ban on DDT literally causes the deaths of about a million people per year, though an extensive investigation by the U.S. EPA found that DDT is safe.

I would think that this is going to have a tremendous impact on tourism and cruises. People are already thinking more carefully about where they vacation because of terrorism and “migrant” concerns.

If they couldn’t (or wouldn’t) keep Ebola out of the US what do you think they can do against this?

[Sasparilla]

Any swampy place is mosquito infested. It’s hard to travel a mile in Florida without being near a swamp. This will soon be statewide.

Should bring back DDT as the crap they use now does not work.

There actually is no evidence specifically linking Zika virus to microcephaly. There are many causes of microcephaly, including genetic, poor health of the mother, and a limited number of virus infections.

Women who are afraid of getting Zika virus during pregnancy can theoretically be tested for immunity before getting pregnant. I say theoretically, because such a test is fairly straightforward, but I do not know if the FDA has licensed such a test yet. If I were a Zika virus researcher, I’d be hustling to standardize and “idiot-proof” such a test in order to get that FDA approval. A woman who is immune can safely get pregnant without worry that she will transmit the virus to her unborn child.

More than 300 million affected with malaria since the DDT ban but hey, at least some song birds are singing and the seagull eggs are harder.

But they were third world black and brown lives, not western white progressives; therefore they don't count.

[SkyDancer]

I’ll have to remind you that the EPA says those swamp places are ‘wet lands’ not swamps therefore ecco-friendly. Also are repositories for duck poop.

No, those are Democrats.

[SkyDancer]

“States of emergency”? How many states does this FL governor govern?

"This business will get out of control.
It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."

Band DDT so the birds can sing, but then build those massive wind turbines which kill the same birds and that is alright.

Typical liberal , nutcase logic.

[GladesGuru]

Have you considered that Libtards may be behind this? With a wave of microcephalics, Democratic voter rolls would increase /snark

[SkyDancer]

Yep, liberals never ever think of those unintended consequences

[SkyDancer]

They’ll never lose so long as there are still cemeteries.

[nclaurel]

Google hydrocephalus. It has many causes.
