Because there was nothing to be careful of. There was no real evidence that DDT was harmful, the inventor ate a teaspoon of it EVERY day and lived to a ripe old age. Rachel Carson was a sham and her book was garbage. She killed as many people in third world countries as any banana republic dictator.
I've read that elsewhere also.

I never red "Silent Spring" and grew up in rural GA where no spraying occurred. DDT may be harmless to humans, although I doubt there are no negative affects, but it plays hell with bees, which we are dependent upon as they fertilize crops. Something apparently is killing bees now, don't know what it is, but farmers are starting to feel the shortage.
Concealed carry is for protection, open carry is for attention.
IIRC, DDT affected the egg shell thickness of birds. It made the shells thin and they broke easily.
I can remember when bluebirds were rare around here. Now they are quite common.
It possibly could have been another chemical. But, I thought it was DDT.
That was said about it, however the birds they tested were fed a calcium deficient diet.
42. Years of carefully controlled feeding experiments involving levels
of DDT as high as present in most wild birds resulted in no tremors,
mortality, thinning of egg shells nor reproductive interference. [Scott,
ML et al. 1975. Poultry Science 54: 350-368 (Egg production, hatch
ability and shell quality depend on calcium, and are not effected by DDT
and its
metabolites)] https://junkscience.com/1999/07/100-things-you-should-know-about-ddt/
It's boring, and your lack of creativity knows no bounds.

Stop cutting your grass, plant wildflowers. There are no more wildflowers growing in the corn, and people have huge yards that they trim to nothing. No food, no bees.

The bees are getting infected with something, I can't remember if it is a virus or a bacteria, but once it infects the hive it kills the whole hive. They haven't found a cure but have found ways to slow the spread. Can't ask Monsanto anything, they don't exist anymore.
