A vector was loose in Madagascar, Africa with a pathogen and a zoonotic disease.
Later people found out that the zoonotic disease was known as malaria. The vector that
carried the pathogen was a fly. People began to use DDT to help stop this epidemic and
the results were startling. Five years after Africa stopped using DDT, the number of cases
had risen to 500,000. In the late 1980s Madagascar stopped using DDT and the resulting
death drop to fell too 100,000. I strongly believe DDT should not be used, because it
ruins homes, plants and most importantly the economy. (all according to The DDT Story.

that plants play a big part in our daily lives because they provide oxygen to us to breath.

animals relies on photosynthesis. (According all every breath you take. (n.d.). Retrieved

DDT. The more toxic substitutes cost as much as 10 to 20 times more and require
