petroc-ga,

Although I understand the context of what you wrote, I can't quite
make out what your question is.

Can you perhaps re-state it a bit more directly?  What is the question
you would like a Google Answers researcher to try and answer?

Thanks.

I'm neither a doctor nor a researcher but I was chatting to a
knowledgeable guy about DDT a few days ago.

Here in the UK (and possibly elsewhere) it is now a banned substance
but in its heyday it was used everywhere and for everything.

My guess is that it must have done untold damage ...

Hope you find an answer.

All the Best
