And mosquito control. There is NOTHING more effective than DDT at killing AND repelling mosquitos. There are studies that show that many things can cause eggshell thinning (the main reason for the DDT ban), but DDT was conclusivley shown not to be one of them. It is setimated the 2 MILLION lives could be saved each year if DDT were allowed for mosquito control.

Rachel Carson was not an innocent but misguided crusader. She was the original evironmentalist leftist terrorist and all the horrors we are seeing from that movement began with Silent Spring.

Millions of lives are lost every year to diseases like malaria, yellow fever, and dengue because of this irresponsible pseudo-science.

The fact is DDT is completely harmless to humans and the environment. It is a great danger to those insects that sicken and kill humans and all mammals. It is time to tell all the cowardly politicians, including the current batch, who are clamoring for us to do more to help the diseased in third-world nations, so long as they do not act to remove the ban from DDT they are a bunch of pusillanimous liars.

DDT is safe: just ask the professor who ate it for 40 years.

"And mosquito control."

Oh, I absolutely agree (and I should have said " termite control in addition to mosquito control."). Certainly, the blood of those dead from malaria should haunt the souls of the eco-fanatics, but then those nutcases think of humans as cancer cells. The termite question is "mere" property loss by comparison, but to those who lose a family home that has been in the family for generations, it "is" a significant loss.
