And The Mosquitoes Can Kill You, Too, So You Can't Win

Studies show DDT exposure can increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Good thing they don't use DDT anymore... what? They do, overseas? Damn. There's also the huge -- I'm not kidding -- deposit of DDT in the water right by my house, in the Pacific Ocean, although some of it appears to have disappeared or dissipated (not a joke). Anyway, even if you're no environmentalist, this stuff has to scare you, because for every banned pesticide that causes disease, there have to be others still in use that they just don't know what they cause yet.
