Horrifying fact: To "prove" how safe DDT was, they would sometimes drive around a town with a truck spraying a cloud of DDT out onto crowds of children running behind the truck or even kids in a swimming pool (you can see the videos of this online). The original ban on DDT was the ban on its use in the U.S. and NOT its production. It continued to be produced and sold to foreign markets until 1985 (over 300 tons was exported). Also, you can find DDT still on the tops of mountains where DDT was never sprayed. And a global ban on DDT (among other persistent organic pollutants) did not happen until 2004, though its use was still permitted for certain disease vector control measures. However, despite the global ban, it's still used in a few places around the world today.

I grew up in the fifties and sixties in Michigan My dad was a big camping fishing enthusiast.he took us camping every weekend in the summer and we got to see the whole state. In my early teen we went out west three times. Anyway where I’m going with this is ,we never saw a turkey buzzard, an eagle, a sand hill crane ,a cormorant and most hawks. But then in the early eighties something miraculous began to occur. These top bird species started to be seen. At first in isolated pockets but by the nineties they were every where. Some are so prevalent now that they are consider pest. DDTwas causing the egg shells of these birds to be so thin that they didn’t survive to hatching. Just one of the innumerable problems caused by this chemical compound! All this is known today, yet there are politicians and farmers who want bring back.
