The Scientific American article from 2009 that Michael linked to several threads ago indicates that a 2007 study showed that chronic exposure to DDT used in internal spraying of walls resulted in reduced sperm counts. That's the aim of male contraception.<br /><br />I found it ironic that Michael in one of his very unfunny threads attempts to 'mislabel' DDT as a contraceptive, when it actually is. And then goes into faux outrage at the article's title 'Should DDT be used to combat malaria?', without reading the article itself, or even the subtitle.<br /><br />I found the article quite balanced. The title 'Should DDT be used to combat malaria?', invites the reader to give an answer.<br /><br />My answer is 'Yes, provided no better method is found'. I don't think that there's a better method, so I think DDT should be continued to be used. There's no war on DDT. There is a campaign to phase it out, if better methods are available, which I don't think will happen.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-44439879210239371372012-12-20T19:13:24.774-05:002012-12-20T19:13:24.774-05:00It's satire Ed, not a hoax.

The 'Scientific American' article from several years ago you cited a few threads back (you know, the one you apparently just read no further than the title) noted that chronic exposure to DDT in spraying of internal walls results in a reduced sperm count in exposed males.<br /><br />So, with your irrational aversion to birth control, you should be insisting that DDT spraying should be banned immediately. Instead of waiting for the international review to assess whether it should be phased out by 2020, provided there are adequate substitutes. I suspect that there won't be, and use post-2020 will continue.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-34367539408075439612012-12-19T06:20:41.661-05:002012-12-19T06:20:41.661-05:00Yea.
