DDT is one of the safest insecticides known.

It has been suggested that flawed studies resulted in the ban.
Even if the studies were accurate, additional consideration should be afforded public health concerns.
Most certainly, bring it back!

Appreciate the comments- when I was a little boy- 1950's- we ran through the "skeeter spray" the county fogger truck put out, because, childlike, we figured if it was bad for the bugs, it must be "good for us..."

While I certainly would not do or recommend that now, no harm came from breathing the stuff. The diseases carried by the bugs are a far more immediate threat to health.
