In remember the mosquito planes flying over when we were kids dumping
DDT around the lakes...I wonder how much cancer in out age group that is
responsible for and how many birth defects,,,


How big a plane do you suppose it would take to spray the walls and ceiling
inside a hut?

You want to spray DDT in hits where people for the most part already
have compromised lung conditions from TB....brilliant....and compromised
immune systems...more btilliant...pyrethrums, allethreums, and pyrithens
also work on mosquitos and are not toxic to the central nervous syste,
And they're cheap and plant-based or can be synthetically made.
Bringing DDT back would be a dosaster.
