I can understand banning it OUTSIDE because it caused bald eagle eggs to have shells that were too thin ...

It turns out that isn't necessarily true.

Birds' eggs started to thin long before DDT.

DDT, Eggshells, and Me Cracking open the facts on birds and banned pesticides

It wasn't banned for "human health concerns" as the article says either.

Well... I can tell you that here in Illinois, since the ban ... we DO have the eagles back.
