A friend of mine started telling me about how DDT was starting to eradicate disease and how it was subsequently banned.

As soon as he said it was banned, I knew where he was going….population control….and I was right.  He confirmed my suspicion even before he told me the whole story.

Humanity is a wicked lot at times.

    DDT was never banned for use against malaria, never banned in Africa, nor Asia.

    If your “friend” will tell whoppers like that just to open conversation, odds are the rest of what s/he said is hoax, too.
