We sat often and discussed the problems in Kenya, Ghana,

Afica. Believbe me, they would not accept your soluition
for their people.
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.
