This one is not just theoretical; it can and might easily affect YOU.
They're talking about possible quarantines in the event of an avian flu outbreak. In real life, birds don't bite people and most people don't eat bird shit. The most major way that diseases cross from rats or birds to people is via mosquitos, and the ultimate cure for everything in the world like that is DDT. They all but had malaria, polio, and everything else like that wiped off the planet in 1957 and that was too good for the idiots.
There are people who fell into vats of DDT in the 50s still walking around, and one guy who used to eat the stuff to demonstrate its safety who's still walking around. Everybody who survived the nazi death camps was sprayed with DDT to keep them from dying of typhous, and nobody was harmed by it.
Moreover, a buddy of mine actually studied under Heinz Meng, America's most major ornithologist and expert on raptors, and the man who returned peregrins to NY, DC, Philly and Baltimore, and HE said the whole thing about DDT harming birds was BS. Raptors were mainly being killed by farmers with shotguns in those days. After they outlawed that, they came back.
