Here's some recommended reading (note particularly that it's about South
Africa).

I am not disputing that DDT would be eddicacious used in households
however, like I said, who is going to regulate that in countries where
regulations are set by blackmailers, terrorists, and military
governments? If the UN would step in and do what it is supposed to do,
that would be one way. Are they involved? They should be. If DDT is
rteleased to the masses, Africa will suffer the same problems with it as
what happened here. Only through careful control and regulation should
it be used and all efforts should be made to use alternate, more safe
methods.
