In the very beginning DDT was also safe for humans when used as
directed. Its effect on human beings was not realized until we humans
completed the food chain.
You've been "drawin" DDT out lately as if it was a six
shooter It's sort of comparing apples to oranges.
The pesticide industry is the second most
regulated/tested industry there is, pharmaceuticals is
number one. The days of pre market testing was nothing
when it came out as compared to todays products. One of
DDT's sister pesticides that was also pulled for
environmental issues (chlordane) actually has gone
through the testing after it was pulled and could
technically be put back into the market as a restricted
use product (don't worry, I doubt that would ever
happen).

Just one reminder. Science is not the solution of everything. There
are tons of mysteries in gardening, botany and zoology which are not
yet solved. One such example is (you can point out I am wrong as I am
not too sure) according to aerodynamics, the hummingbirds should not
be able to fly at all; at least the aerodynamics engineers cannot
explain how they fly.

Think that was the bumblebee.
