spectator.org/articles/48925/ddt-fraud-and-tragedy There is only one negative about DDT which the Fusion article didnt dispute... that it is persistent in the soil with a half-life of about 75 years. The term half-life is commonly used to describe the amount of time (in years) it takes for a particular chemical to breakdown naturally (by half). It is the only negative attribute which everyone seems to agree. So, if no deaths can be attributed to DDT, is it dangerous to ones health? Well, in the late 1970s a University of Arizona professor purposely ate DDT everyday, he made it a part of his diet to publicly demonstrate it was harmless to humans. That story was not widely circulated at the time but known to everyone within the agricultural chemical industry which I once belonged. Im unaware of the professors whereabouts today but assuredly, I would venture, not ill from DDT.
