Polio was really all about pesticide poisoning. The disease doesn't exist.

DDT is the classic example in the relationship betwwen chemical pesticide and enviroment.

This bit of sensationalism tries to link birth defects and cancer to DDT, but in fact there's little evidence for this at the levels generally used as a pesticide. If used again in Africa and other places in which malaria is a major killer, DDT would doubtless save many lives.

@stacylizard It's all fraudulent science. People conducting the test made many mistakes in which led them to believe that ddt was linked to anything that happened bad to somebody.

Banning DDT killed millions of people. Do you care more about wild animals that could kill you, than your brothers?

DDT should be legal again... and of course is harmful DUH its a pesticide.. how the fuck is DDT any different then any other pesticide... try to spray raid in to you mouth and see what will happen.. such things need to be used carefully and not just brainlessly sprayed all over the place... @stacylizard that the US government bans something should not tell you anything, the US government is not the holder of all knowledge, in fact they considered very incompetent by many..including me

DDT is horrible. Jake Roberts is a scary man, and that's mostly because of the DDT.

Yes it saved lives but we can't be overly selfish or ignorant to long term effects. DDT is fat soluble and persistent, it builds up in the environment, we damage the ecosystems we damage our way-of-life. The fact that people get sick as they age doesn't hold water, younger and younger people are getting sick today. DDT has affects on the nervous systems of human and is cancerous. perhaps all the cases of Alzheimer, dementia, and cancer are a result of the usage of the chemical.
