re: #22 recusancy

Well, and per elizajane’s comment, DDT is still very effective against mosquitoes and malaria. Weighing death by malaria or environmental damage people will take not dying from malaria.

DDT is very useful, and is great at malarial control. It is only good in that role, however, if it is NOT commonly used as a pesticide, otherwise the populations gain an immunity to it quickly. So, the general DDT bans on crop sprays actually increase its effectiveness as an anti-malaria tactic.
