“”When you grew up” it was DDT. “

I remember Jeeps spraying fog in west Nashville in the 50’s. I was right in the middle of it and I’m still here.

We had vintage WWII bombers loaded up with Mirex and heptachlor battling the fire ant invasion

Sprayed day and night for weeks in the now historically referred to fire ant wars

You can google that term

I lived where malaria and yellow fever had wiped out generations once so we were grateful for DDT

And yes we played behind the trucks and the huge air balloon sized cloud

Loved that smell
