fifty years ago as a small child in Florida, we chased the DDT trucks down the street when they did the nightly foggings..
I am still alive, and have never had cancer..I am a huge DDT fan. The crap I spray my yard with to kill them these days..I swear I hear the mosquitos laughing at me.
We did the same thing- childishly reasoning "bad for bugs, good for us!" like kids do.
Don't know if it's in my links, but there was a Professor who a teaspoon of DDT every day for 40 years without harm.
