In an effort to combat widespread malaria, the nations of Uganda and Tanzania recently lifted their bans on the use of DDT indoors. While this has angered some in Europe, such actions were necessary to protect human health, according to Paul Driessen of the Congress on Racial Equality: Comments Dreissen: “Sprayed just once or twice a year on the eaves or inside walls of homes, DDT keeps 99% of mosquitos from even entering. It irritates those that do come in so they rarely bite, and kills any that land. No other chemical at any price does that. African countries that used DDT this way cut malaria rates by 75% in two years. DDT saves lives.”
