Malaria is the cause of many of the deaths in Africa.However pesticides such as DDT have been used in many countries to prevent and have ended the disease. However many people have asked the WWF (World Wildlife Federation) to stop this pesticide because it had killed many things in the wildlife. Their answer was simply that they gave was “that if DDT was banned millions of people in the world would die of malaria>”

However many forget that there are animals who depend on eating these pests, so when they eat them they get poisoned by the pesticide and die. Maybe before the animal died another animal ate it then that top producers dies.

If an human eats an animal with DDT in large animals it also will die, in large amounts it will die. This is because DDT and other pesticides are persistent and will stay in your bodie for a long time
