Wow. This is sad.

I hope they come up with something to fight it.

Bring back DDT!

DDT has been back for several years.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupidity. Nothing like skipping parts of your treatment to culture a resistant strain. And should you think otherwise, there are any number of idiots doing the same thing here in America with TB, and guess what--

The only real cure is, look in the mirror.

If you are blonde... the type with tits (I don't do men, sorry)... think about having a ton of kids with yours truly, for I, Tosser, have natural immunity to malaria. LOL

Or hell, marry a Jew or Arab... might work. My immunity seems to be a Semitic throwback trait. A recessive gene of some kind.

What is it that makes you want to get married anyway?

What is it that makes you want to get married anyway?

*I* have no plans to get married.

However, reasons for getting married would be:

1. Why the hell not? Everyone else did it.

2. Feels nice to belong.

3. I can say "my wife can scratch your wife's eyes out any day of the week".

!, 2 and 3

Sounds reasonable to me.

A little "love" thrown into the mix wouldn't hurt either, at least for the first couple years.

I suppose. But getting married because "I'm in love!" has disaster written all over it.

Love comes and goes... often many times a day. Friendship remains.

Getting married because you're friends is much more stable I think.

I went to my friends house tonight we had chicken tikka. Very good and very spicy. My friend and his family were laughing because they said I was bright red and sweating as I ate.

That's the best course of action in my country, too.

Congrats!

Malaria didn't evolve.

Evolution is a crock.

We will simply pray this away.

THERE IS YOUR WONDER DRUG.

May Rachel Carson rot in hell for the 10s of MILLIONS of women and children she MURDERED with malaria. (But Hey, at least the greens can feel good about the reduced population and therefore reduced carbon footprint....)

How is it possible that the same folks who don't believe in the science of evolution celebrate scientific inventions like DDT?

Do their brains just not care?

SNOOFY

I've been on record, on this site, for a long time, believing in evolution.

Your brain must not work.

Is an environment free of DDT better than one with it? Yes, EVERYONE knows that, and ALWAYS did.

Is an environment with a bug problem and no DDT better than an environment with a much smaller bug problem and significant DDT?......

......Not even close. You can DRINK DDT (people have, for decades, deliberately, just to prove the point). DDT is a TRIVIAL issue compared with the health hazards involved with bug problems. And as far as egg shells go, Rachel carson cooked her numbers.

Even much harsher chemicals (like in the raid can you buy at the store) are better for your health than having bugs.

So, yeah, non-chemical anti-bug solutions that work AT LEAST AS WELL as DDT, sure, they are better, but they DON'T EXIST.

Many choices are not a case of "Perfect good" vs "bad". They are much more commonly between "bad" and "worse". Clamping your hands over your ears and shouting "La La La!!!...." does not change the reality of things.

You need to live in a soviet union chemical dump city to even approach the problems of pestilence. Even then, its possible that significant pestilence is STILL worse.

Well how do you explain the recovery of bald eagle populations,coincidence

Humans>bald eagles. I agree spray the shit out of the area with DDT. And hopefully develop a vaccine.

Wow...viruses and bacteria are known to re-assort. I guess parasites are on their way to doing the same. Not meaning to be heartless but Nature has a way of controlling the population.
