After more than 30 years and tens of millions dead -- mostly children -- the World Health Organization (WHO) has ended its ban on DDT:

Originally posted by der schwarze RitterI regularly use DDT as a pesticide against cockroaches and dust mites here in Japan. It's been freely available in many forms here for many years. I use the spray, but not if there's food open.
