[CT Birds] DDT

[Peeplo at aol.com]

Hi all,

I've been away, so I haven't been  following the discussion on DDT
closely,  but was it mentioned  that DDT, although no longer used in our
country,  is still  produced in the U.S, and sold to other countries? 
Unfortunately,   many  third-world countries see it as a Godsend... as it 
increases   their
food  production, at least in the short term. Of  greater  concern, the
CDC (center for disease control)  recently sanctioned the use of DDT  to 
decrease
Malaria in Africa,  and is actively promoting its use..
