Probably.
The UN has ensured no Aftican country except for South Afica is at all willing to admit they are sovereign. SO they want drugs or money from the evil, rich West, which is not doing enough to keep all the tyrannical regimes afloat by throwing money at the latest fashion in humanitarion problems. Example: how many Christans were left in Darfur before George Clooney noticed there was a problem? Why did Bill Clinton and George Clooney not care while the massacre was going on? And WHY do we have to help NOW, now that the Muslims butchered ALL OF THE CHRISTIANS??
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read here in years.
DDT has never been proved toxic; PCBs are excellent thermal coolants and were never intended to be body paint; Dioxins is a whole class of daughter products (mostly stemming from some form of chlorine, bromine or iodine) that are not understood well by anyone but have become universally feared because the fearful run the scare brigade.
Post 19 from Farmer Dean is spot on.
Why does not one manufacturing company in Africa make it?
It there a western embargo on any of the raw materials necessary for it. Also, once it is made how does it get to the places where it is needed. There may also be a problem with logistics.
My college toxicology textbook
I never said it was, read my post again.
That says all you need to know; if they actually teach lies and half-truths now, you would be better off apprenticing yourself to a modern-day Gepetto.
Assuming your memory is accurate, please transcribe the pertinent paragraphs supporting your earlier statement.
Rachel Carson ranks right up there with Margaret Sanger, Hitler, Stalin and Mao in terms of deathtoll.
That's a hot one. What box of Cracker Jacks did you pull that ''science'' from?
You sound like just another junk science wannabee do-gooder, who, not incidentally, is thoroughly racist. The loss of DDT as a pesticide has killed more Africans than any TWO other causes, and by at least 1 order of magnitude.
No problem for you, eh?
No one else brought up Dioxin, except for you. DDT is not anywhere near as toxic or carcinogenic as Dioxin.
Toluene to Saddam disguised as "insecticide" (and it DOES kill insects, and humans and anything else living) or DDT to African countries outright. Choices, choices, huh?
Come to that, why don't African countries build their own DDT plants? Muslims murdered all the educated people? (rhetorical question)
They don’t call it Darkest Africa because the sun doesn’t shine there.It’s the spiritual vacuum,moral depravity,corruption,debasement of human life,willful ignorance,the list goes on and on.
Read first then post.
In another study, humans voluntarily ingested 35 mg of DDT daily for about two years, and were then tracked for several years afterward. Although there was “suggestive evidence of adverse liver effects”, no other adverse effects were observed.[33

The DDT scare is just like the global warming scare. Remember we were all going to die at the millenium too.
Ohh there’s plenty of spiritualism there, as long as you bow to Allah. What I would like to know is why the “west” doesn’t give a crap until years after all the Christians have been horribly butchered?
To another point, the claims that DDT is toxic and carcinogenic have never been proved, the Carson claims remain unsubstantiated.
Right. Had DDT been in use since the early 70's over thirty million people wouldn't have unnecessarily died and a hundred million suffered from malaria.
DDT is of tremendous value. That it became a doomsday issue or even controversially issue was unnecessary. It created a big deadly problem. A complete waste of time, energy, capital, human resources and human life.
Imagine all that waste instead focused on solving real problems. Same thing for the anthropic global warming hoax. Not just unnecessary but thoroughly counterproductive.
No such thing as a spiritual vacuum. It always get filled. The rest of your post shows with what.
Because the liberals in power hate Christians and are glad to see them killed anywhere in the world?
DDT, asbestos, global wasming? More of the leftist misuse of science!
I’m old enough to remember when the problem was supposed to be global cooling. Anthropogenic global warming is a scam.
