Using DDT to fight cancer
Lene Johansen writes on aBetterEarth.org of the The Institute for Humane Studies at George Mason University.
Johansen discusses in Use DDT to fight cancer? the recent discovery that a protein produced by the malaria parasite can trigger Burkitt's lymphoma, a painful cancer. Burkitt's is usually found in children who also have malaria, and scientists had assumed that malaria weakened the immune system enough for the cancer to take hold. Now it is believed that malaria itself is to blame. Will this mean a renewed use of DDT to fight malaria?
