Ditto to that.

I was exposed to DDT as well when I was little. The routine of the family back then was to spray the DDT after supper, closed the door and windows, go out for a walk, then come home and let the air out through the screen door and windows.

I was also exposed to asbestos and pesticide for fleas at work from 1987 to 1990, just before my huge brain tumor was discovered - the pesticide caused huge headaches.

10 years later, in another worksite, within 6 months after I had worked in a huge room under the newly repaired roof (with tars? - it smelled terrible and my new boss scheduled me to work the Saturday right after the work was done Friday afternoon), my 3 residue tumors suddently doubled their sizes.

2 1/2 years later, I found out that I had breast cancer - my surgeon had mentioned the estimated time and I was just shocked that I had been poisoned. My employer has strong ties with the Army, so my local EPA agent (who was also my church member back then) disuaded me from persuing any inquiry.

We need to start a campaign just like Rachel Carson's Silent Spring did back in the 70's.
