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'm not going to argue with you, but I suggest you read the links more carefully and ask- are one to two million preventable deaths ( in mostly poor, third-world countries ) really worth a avoiding a theoretical risk?

DDT is one of the safest insecticides known. Most of the newer ones are analogs of nerve gas agents, and correspondingly more poisonous to humans. I've seen people literally plastered with powdered DDT without ill effects.

Yeah let's go ahead and contintue to let these third world mosquitoes from hell kill more people, don't bother to find a solution!
