In the 40s we used to barbecue and eat outside most of the time durring the summer and it was my job to spray DDT before we had dinner with a flit gun and I loved the smell of it. It was a daily routine for years and I sure haven't had any ill effects from it, in fact I haven't been sick for 57 years and have never had the flu so maybe it helped develop a better immune system.

We used to put "somekinda" additive in the lawnmower gas that killed the bejesus out of skeeters, gnats, and horseflies, and I'd bet it was DDT!
