Hmmm. I seem to remember a documentary about India, where extensive use of DDT got the number of malaria cases went down from a lot(?) to 50.000 per year, but after the mosquitos became resistant the number increased to former levels again.

It seems that for decisions like that some new research is needed to consolidate former reseach efforts and decide on the dangers of using DDT.

There is a relatively new (in the western world) and very effective medicine against malaria, based on anancient chinese remedy. Why not send that?
