We would ride In the DDT mist!
Good thing I'm not a bird.
I seem to remember reading somewhere, I think it was a Coulter book, that DDT had been safe enough to use on extremely weakened survivors of the holocaust. And that scientist opponents to the -proposed- American ban would ingest it to demonstrate how benign it was to humans.
I was in Appalachia in the 50’s and early 60’s. DDT was considered a miracle cure for everything. It was celebrated by the religious community with the song, “Ain’t no flies on Jesus ‘cause He’s sprayed with DDT.” Children were dosed a spoonfull of DDT to combat intestinal worms.
The owner of the plant that made DDT ate a spoonfull every day as proof of its safety. He lived a long but bitter life after his cure was banned for political reasons.
Tens of millions of children have died in Africa because of the global ban on this cure. And why was this done? To prove the power of the environmental movement. They seek the eradication of unworthy humans like babies of poor, black families through abortion and the death by refusal to protect tens of millions of blacks in Africa.
This is the most diabolical age in the history of mankind. Racist policies are enforced by law through the efforts of enviro fascists. They are genuinely evil, deserving of the extermination they have wreaked upon our people.
Impossible. If the government/liberal propaganda is correct, you're not only dead, but you've deaded thousands of those around you, making it impossible for you to post this counterpoint.
Did the same in the late 60's - early 70's. The tank trucks with sprayers on the back would come through on summer evenings, and we'd all hop on our bicycles and race to get in behind it. Smelled sort of sweet.
I don't remember ever being free of mosquitoes completely, though. Plenty of other insects as well, ants, wasps, hornets, spiders, we even had Rhinoceros Beetles then (not now for whatever reason). Don't remember Terminix hurting for business either, lol.
Plenty of birds for that matter, too, of every species native to the eastern temperate zone. Migratory patterns appear to have changed, Canada Geese no longer fly south. Seagulls are here in abundance, 200 miles inland, and were not at that time. Raptors actually have increased, to the point that it's not unusual at all to see a hawk or an owl, even the occasional eagle. Changes in hunting habits in a former agricultural area now suburban has everything to do with that, plus their being protected.
