Default Blood on my mast

Maybe in
a few years, we can start using DDT again.

That was a joke. It would probably be healthier in the long
run to use powdered plutonium as an insecticide.

You know, some people are actually saying countries should start using DDT
to save the many of the lives lost to malaria each year as a result of
banning its use..


Why is a malaria the "result" of banning DDT? What did they
blame it on, before DDT was invented?

There are a number of much better answers. One of my sailing
partners is a malaria researcher, currently working for the
Army (they have a HUGE interest in malaria prevention & cure).
