hedwig85 - OK - I'll send you the facts - hard to find because today DDT is in use around the world and in places like Sri Lanka - there is no effects on wildlife - and malaria deaths have gone from 7,300 (1948) deaths to 0 (yes - zero) in 1963 -- where DDT was used (Walter Williams). There is speculation that wealthy countries try to restrict DDT use in poor countries as a means of human population control. Malaria is a very effective killer -- and DDTï»¿ eliminates it completely!!
