In Praise of DDT

So tonight, I am getting eaten alive by mosquitoes.

I went for a morning walk. There were mosquitos.
I go on the train. I get bitten.
I go to the office. I sit for an hour. I get bitten.
I go for another walk. Nothing yet.
I go home. I get bitten.

5 bites today.

And so, I checked DDT. It turns out that it is an extremely effective insecticide and it's not that toxic to humans, actually. As long as they sprayed it well away from human presence, I'm happy with it.
