We're told that DDT is harmful to humans and animals. Berlau, a research fellow at the Washington, D.C-based Competitive Enterprise Institute, says, "Not a single study linking DDT exposure to human toxicity has ever been replicated." In one long-term study, volunteers ate 32 ounces of DDT for a year and a half, and 16 years later, they suffered no increased risk of adverse health effects.

Quite right, when I visited a some relatives in a farm, I carried a can of DDT with me all day and I don't know what I would've done had it not been for DDT. The first few days were a time of heavy usage of ointment for itch then the next few days was a time of dead mosquitoe carcasses all around. Taught me to never visit a place with a lot of mosquitoes and DDT is banned.
