I am responding to this now, as I have been waiting to see if anyone has an answer for Rusty and Julie - I think this will bring the item up to the top of the board... I Googled DDT, and found lots of references; this one: is from 2002. Has anyone found anything more recent? Does anyone know what spray is being used, is it any less dangerous than DDT, and how people can best protect themselves at the time of spraying?...and there is still the question of its residual effect. Somewhere I read that the increase of dengue is partially due to more plastic (bags and containers) being disposed of carelessly, and therefore becoming a place for water to stand...one simple thing we can do is take our own bolsa when we go shopping - say "No Gracias" to unnecessary packaging. |
