One other thing everybody needs to grasp about DDT is that in anything remotely resembling sane or rational usage, the stuff was totally safe for humans and other mammals. There were guys who fell into vats of it in the 50s who’re still walking around and basically everybody who survived those death camps in WW-II were sprayed with it to kill lice and none of those people ever died from DDT exposure.

OH SHI’ITE!!!!!

I meant: “...to prove his point that DDT was NOT poisons to humans.”

The anti DDT gods must be working against me.

I am very sorry.

My father was in the 4th Marine Division on Iwo Jima. He said when they finally got back to the ships, all the Marines stripped off their clothes and threw them overboard. They were then sprayed with DDT.
