Is it time to reconsider bringing DDT back for public safety?

Yeah..lets's polute the water systems some more.
I just read an article this weekend about how the medicines we have become such a great amount that they have accumulated in the sewers and the all filtering system processes (even underground) are not filtering out the medicines and hormones from our drinking water. They said they can't do it.

I first heard of West Nile about a year ago. However, I've NEVER heard even a mention of DDT as a possible solution anywhere but here at FreeRepublic. It's been gone so long that many people have no idea what DDT is anymore.
Thanks backhoe, there are a lot of American lives at stake, not to mention the 2 million around the world.

Good job ! It seems the DDT banning 30 years ago was based
on Liberal "Junk" "Science". In other words, baseless.

It is not like we don't have other pesticides that can kill mosquitos.... we can kill mosquitos without DDT.

DDT, Fraud, and Tragedy -- Dr. Dixie Lee Ray, scientist, recipient of the United Nations Peace Prize and former Governor of Washington State, is the author of the best selling Trashing the Planet, a common-sense book dealing with the contentious issues where science and politics overlap and where environmentalism moves from well-meaning idealism to counterproductive eco-terrorism.

FWIW
"Dragonflies play an important role in the control of the mosquito population. When they are nothing but dragonfly nymphs, they prey upon mosquito larvae, and when they reach adulthood, they eat mosquito adults. This behavior has earned them the nickname of "mosquito hawk"."

DDT and the sum of all fears
The World Health Organization has approved the use of DDT as a means of controlling malaria, a disease the kills over a million Africans every year. But despite the approval from the WHO, some in Africa are opposing its use. Not because they fear it won't work, Not because they fear that DDT poses a threat to humans. But because they fear the fear of others far removed from either DDT or malaria.
