An interesting article on DDT and maleria
Sep. 9th, 2006 01:52 pmFound this old article from the New Yorker on Fred Soper, DDT and maleria.
Did you know that DDT helped win WWII? No, read the article, its an interesting history lesson in how maleria used to be a big killer in other places than Africa, oh like southern Italy and the southern US, and how DDT has saved millions of lives. Also shows how too much of a good thing can be bad.
