Re: Controlling mosquitoes.
Boerseun, with you being in South Africa, tell us what they say and plan to do about mosquito control to decrease the numbers of Malaria stricken?
I spoke to a professor today about this. We both agreed that the reason DDT is so beneficial is that you don't have to spray daily, it's cheap and you have to be exposed to the substance in large quanities over a consitant long period to become ill. Even then it is probably 30-50 years down the road, where with malaria you could die in a few weeks, mainly from anemia right.?.
Michaelangelica, I know you said researchers are on the brink of treatment(s). What about a detergent for cleaning the DDT chemicals? Safety Kleen chemicals/products are used for oil spills, surely there is something to utilize with the mosquitocides.?.
