A Harmful Chemical
It’s funny just how much information we have about DDT. Back when it was the newest thing on the market, farmers used the chemical compound like crazy, thinking it would help eliminate pests and diseases on our crops. They sure did kill tons of pests with DDT but at the cost of our personal health.
Thankfully, governments around the world were somewhat quick to ban DDT from agricultural use. It just goes to show how a few years of education can change the minds of the public, and we’re a lot leaving DDT in the dust where it belongs. Not literally, of course.
