- From about 1945 to 1970, large amounts of DDT were released into the air and on soil or water when it was sprayed on crops and forests to control insects. DDT was also sprayed in the environment to control mosquitoes. DDT was first synthesized in 1874, but it was not until 1939 that its insecticidal properties were discovered. Sherwin Williams began marketing DDT in a paintable form in the mid 1940's under the trade name Pestroy. Production of DDT in 1971 in the United States was estimated to be 2 million kg. This represented a sharp decline from the 82 million kg produced in 1962, and from the 56 million kg produced in 1960. At the peak of its popularity in 1962, DDT was registered for use on 334 agricultural commodities and about 85,000 tons were produced. The cumulative world production of DDT has been estimated as 2 million tons. As of January 1, 1973, all uses of DDT in the United States were canceled except emergency public health uses and a few other uses permitted on a case-by-case basis. Currently, no companies in the United States manufacture DDT. DDT is presently produced by companies in Mexico and China. Since the ban on DDT was instituted in the United States and most of the world in 1972, the environmental concentrations of DDT and its metabolites have been decreasing. The persistence of DDT and its metabolites, in combination with their high lipophilicity, have contributed to the bioaccumulation (increasing concentration of a chemical in an organism which exceeds that in its environment) and biomagnification (increasing concentration of a chemical in an organism as a function of trophic level) of DDT and its degradation products in the environment. DDT accumulate in fatty tissues, with tissue concentrations typically increasing with the trophic level of the organism. People who swallowed large amounts of DDT became excitable and had tremors and seizures. They also experienced sweating, headache, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. These effects on the nervous system went away once exposure stopped. The same type of effects would be expected by breathing DDT particles in the air or by contact of the skin with high amounts of DDT. Animal studies show that long-term exposure to moderate amounts of DDT may affect the liver. Tests in animals also suggest that short-term exposure to DDT and metabolites in food may have a harmful effect on reproduction. In addition, we know that some breakdown products of DDT can cause harmful effects on the adrenal gland. Based on all of the evidence available, the Department of Health and Human Services has determined that DDT is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. Similarly, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that DDT is possibly carcinogenic to humans. EPA has also determined that DDT is a probable human carcinogen.

This clip is from the 1946 promotional film, Doomsday for Pests, which is available at the Internet Archives.
I cringed when they started dumping it into the swamp and pouring it on their dog.
But the happy music makes it okay.
Plot twist: the insects are YOU
I am getting cancer just watching this video
nice meme
ddt
dditto
just what the doctor ordered. that country club membership ain't cheap you know.
They weren't kidding when they said that it is a hand full of concentrated death. My family all used to work in the fields. Now they all have really rare diseases. And my cousin who is not even 30 got cancer since the chemicals from her father passed on through him and onto her. And I have some pretty rare diseases passed down from my mom when she worked in the fields.
Damn, they really *are* putting it everywhere. Five stars for the title!
The boat, and the water. And don't forget it has more DDT then the recommended amount
And now they’re putting something else everywhere only it’s sprayed much higher.
The good old days. Lead in your paint and gasoline DDT on everything else!
In 2014 I accidentally dumped a canister of Pyrethrin on myself while spraying trees and brush in Arizona. I should have quickly showered it off. I didn't. From the neck down it appeared as if I had Poison Oak everywhere. Using both external and internal medicines it took several years to clear up.
chloracne :-(
TCDD a contaminant in Agent Orange also caused chloracne@@BecciOnion
@@BecciOnionNo. Pyrethrin doesn't contain chlorine.
This will go great with my asbestos cookies
And my lead potato chips😉
I really didnt feel enough in my lungs from bicycling alongside 20miles of traffic fumes, now I have some ideas!
And my RNA displacement!
😀😀😀
🤣🤣‼️
Why do humans think that they are immune from the poisons they make? As an organic farmer who uses nothing but compost and love to grow beautiful food, I really wonder what made these people think anything that kills is "safe"!.
I don't use ANY pesticides and grow beautiful food. I let the good guys eat the bad guys and just observe!
"Know to be safe for humans and animals [so far]."
"Studies for this brand new product [over the course of one year] have shown the product is safe for all wildlife."
"This product has been proven to cause no harmful side effects to plants and wildlife [yet]."
I remember my grandfather saying things like they did in the video and thinking it was completely fine. It was a more innocent time. Products like these were almost completely new to the mass market so they never considered the long term effects of products like these because they never had to and most people died before it mattered. I believe the average life span of a man in the USA in 1927 was 59 years old. Time are much different now, and I am very happy for it!
because the advertising man told them they are
Hubris
People are idiots. Plain and simple.
My mom always put on her frilly dress and high heels when she sprayed her DDT.
Myy dad actually did cut the grass in his tie and long sleeved dress shirt.
Can you describe to me what it smelled like? I’d like to be able to recognize it if it’s why my tobacco tastes like chlorinated bubblegum after sitting in one of my bathroom drawers, that are lined with scary wallpaper that might be the DDT laced stuff they used back when my townhouse was built.
That aged well.
RIP the dog
"DDT-It's a handful of concentrated death"!
I'll say it was!!! And now Monsanto is in 90% of what we EAT! Cool!!!!
my jaw has been dropped throughout this entire video
let's cover our dogs with DDT! what a wonderful idea!
You’ll be stating the same thing about tick collars in 20 years
Ok I will, 👌
DDT, I put that shit on everything.
Yup they all went along then and look how well that turned out. Similar to Regular leaded gasoline they used for YEARS and they knew the harm it was causing.
My mother used to cover our heads/hair with ddt 🤢
We had a lucky escape but I did get breast cancer when I was 58. 🤢🤢
That's why aliens never visit us. =w=
Yeah I always wondered that two
Or they did, just met DDT first.
Do you think humans would do this to themselves?
1:19 Who the hell douses the INSIDE of their house with toxic pesticide aerosols?
+EnigmaHood people still do it today. It's called bug spray.
***** Which is still a stupid idea. At best that shit should only be used in the garage or basement.
EnigmaHood Tell that to all the people that do it yearly. "Bug Bombing" your house is very common down the southern states where Bugs can condemn your home without it.
***** People do stupid things, what else is new? If you have a bug infestation problem that can condemn your house a little bug spray ain't gona help much.
EnigmaHood Bug spray is for prevention not treatment.
"How to get amuricans to poison themselves and then sell them treatments 101"
I wonder if that's still goes on today?
They don't have a cure for cancer lol
This is insane them having put it EVERY WHERE.
The primary reason of banning DDT was not about human toxicity and potential carcinogenic properties.
This video evokes a terrible feeling.
I really felt it when she was rubbing DDT onto that dog.
"It's a handful of concentrated death"
now lets hose it into our kids swimming pool and in our pets faces!!!
Those bugs were literally still ALIVE running.
and these early sheep wonder why cancer rocketed--wow, I knew all about this but this video says it all!
4:14..... “it’s a handful of concentrated death!” 😵☠️😵☠️
Insanity. How gullible humans are. There's an evil dumbing us down generation after generation .
Yes worse ever decade
Who else is watching this in 2021 for class? T~T
this gave me anxiety and depression
The powder "is a concentrated handful of death"
That poor dog 🐕
Even tho the can formula has a high dosage of ddt, the scientist were still able to pass this product to the market? And advertise it? And tell people to put it everywhere!?! Even tho they knew!
And now we just put Roundup everywhere ... LOL - Because Humanity rhymes with stupidity
DDT its whats for dinner,,,!!!!
Wow. I'm gonna go add DDT to my lead painted house straight away!!!
Could the 40s get anymore cringey??
I stir in DDT and asbestos with my lead based paints for the nursery! 💛😉
I worked at a summer camp a few years back. The owners were a elderly couple that were 80s but fading fast. Every summer the wife would gather the children up for an hour or so and more or less give her life story. Part of the story she told the summer I was there was about when she was a child. She told us about her and the other kids that would chase the DDT gas trucks down the street. Her story didn’t make much since as she was fading quite fast mentally. The part about the DDT stuck out to me though. Pretty chilling seeing this footage
If only they knew at this time what the effects of DDT did..... T
Or perhaps they did...
why do we hate insects so much?
Exactly! All insects are beneficial to the ecosystem, both the good bugs and the bad bugs; the good bugs can eat the bad bugs and everyone is happy! Agriculture is absolutely evil and always has been. Permaculture is best for the environment.
Because mosquitoes kills 725000 people every year
This makes no sense and is disturbing. There is so much we don't know about this "world".
Would you like to know more?
I wonder what chemicals we are spraying right now that are actually carcinogens and a study will come around 30/40 years later about the health effects
Random bug: *minding its own business*
Me:
Random mosquitoes: kills 725000 people every year
You: 💀
Great description, it very much serves to set the context
safe and effective!
"its a handful of concentrated death."
she blinded me with SCIENCE!
literally
This video is so disturbing in many ways
seriously, what was our problem with bugs? its like total war!!! ive been bit by mosquitos and even wasps but geez!
WTF this is weird.
I never heard about this until today :|
Poor doggie paying for human stupidity
They put it effing everywhere. It was like drugs
I put ddt on my front door to keep solicitors away.
Poor fido...
Ohh no an insect on my woodpile, or in the swamp, must kill all the evil insects.
And we wonder why we have insect decline.
Must be why everything looked so clean back then. No bugs! 😅
OK, we get it, you can put it on stuff!
ah, yes. nice topping for my insect burger!
Deadly and effective!
Petrochemical industry
I need this stuff !
DDT was the polio outbreak!
But, dont worry! Permanently altering your RNA is perfectly safe! 🙃
Bizarre
DDT is good for me-e-e, MY ASS.
Once i noticed what I was watching, I felt like I was in Demolition Man (yeah the action flick with Snipes and Stalone)
Spray it on the fried chicken at picnic. No flies!
04:50 pobre perro.
DDt was also contaminated every where
wow
at 4:25 or after "This powder is truly activating." and it is white dang the old days tho
Holy Moly
Is it possible to know the original source of this video and how to license it?
I would like to cite this video. Where was it originally published? and who owns rights to it
Spooky

Humanstroy 😑
Bugs are life, food chain. We are the best exterminators,,,
Bro... if we all kept using this... we would have destroyed the ecosystem entirely. lol... it wasn't even a century ago either, did they not understand we need bugs? 🤔
This was when America was still great!
Right, because nothing dumb happens today!
Now I know why my parents were all fucked up.
OMG :-O
Residues are remaining now toooooo9o
