Actually, they probably banned it because it saves lives

In World War I, prior to the discovery of the insecticidal potential of DDT, typhus killed more servicemen than bullets. In World War II, typhus was no problem. The world has marveled at the effectiveness of DDT in fighting malaria, yellow fever, dengue, sleeping sickness, plague, encephalitis, West Nile Virus, and other diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, fleas, and lice.
Today, the greatest killer and disabler is malaria, which kills a person every 30 seconds. By the 1960s, DDT had brought malaria near to extinction.

If your parish is worth a shite, they’re rotating pyrethroids and organophosphates to mitigate resistance.

You know the "studies" on DDT fudged their data? Why? Ddt is cheap as dirt. Had to make it illegal so the company making the expensive stuff could profit.
Yeah......we will go with that.

As kids we rode our bikes back and forth through the mosquito fogging trucks’ clouds of pesticides. It smelled really good.

Reading about kids playing around in a cloud of DDT or other chemicals explains some of the things you see posted on TD.

It is, but it just kinda pools up and runs off the flat Earth.

I played in the clouds growing up - I have a kick arse immune system.
