I vaguely recall, having followed the damage caused by Rachel Carson, whose “Silent Spring” caused congress to take the safe path and ban DDT, in spite of the complete lack of evidence to support its claimed dangers, that within a few years of the ban in the early 70s bubonic plague reappeared in the US.


I recall a story about some scientist who took a spoonfull of DDT by mouth, every day, for several years as an attempt to prove it was safe.

Both he and his wife.
