It has resulted in the death of tens of millions of children by malaria and other mosquito born diseases. None of these deaths need have occured. You've been reading too much junkscience.com (which is largely junk in and of itself- selective citations). The ban is not worldwide and DDT would do little to prevent 'millions' of deaths. Mosquito resistance to DDT occurs within just a few years. Uggh don't even want to start the same arguements.

thank you presenting some sanity...all the while the DDT advocates ignore the alternatives!

Could the use of DDT inadvertently worsen the malaria problem by decimating the populations of the mosquito's natural predators?
