The solution for bedbugs: DDT

I soon as I saw that my daily hits on my bedbug posts were going up again, I thought: "I bet bedbugs are in the news again." They are. There was panic in a Times Square movie theater last night when they closed it because of bedbugs.

Malaria and bedbugs were eliminated in South Africa when I was a kid. Then DDT was banned and they made a comeback. The irony is that some of the pesticides that replaced it were more dangerous than DDT.

From Fred Thompson's blog, Fred08 on November 26th, 2007:

More Praise for Fred’s Tax Relief Plan - Patrick Joubert Conlon at Born Again Redneck called the plan, “music to a businessman’s ears.”

C.D. Jewell,

Liberalstein,

"This blog interested me first because of the title. But the quality of Patrick Joubert Conlon's writing has kept me coming back. His style is not presumptuous or pompous or condescending; it's plain and simple. Good old American English. Which is funny because Mr. Conlon was born and lived in South Africa for his first twenty one years and after that spent eight years in England before finding his home here in the U. S. His blog provides a rare outsider/insider perspective on the U. S. of A. He's been linked to by CNN on a couple of occasions and one of his posts was cited by the official Fred08 website. He does a lot of politics but also some lighter fare as well. He frequently posts spectacular photos taken on his Oregon farm."
