I wonder if Rachel Carson had written Silent Spring in Kenya, it would refer to the lack of children’s laughter due to Malaria deaths. Boy that girl yesterday sure was cute.
Great Story, I really am Amazed that after all these years, Malaria has not been sorted.
Maybe if people in first world countries started undergoing malaria outbreaks, this woeful scenario would change…
I have been approached by pharma companies re http://quinine.info but only with laughable numbers. :S
Nice story — at least it seems like some progress is being made in Kenya (though it might be nice to have some clearer statistics)…

Pyrethroids and the like do no damage to Humans. They are all tested and totally safe. I think they are now selling bedcovers with similar insecticides to control dust mites and therefore allergic reactions such as asthma. Back in the day, DDT was the insecticide of choice, however people all got concerned about the effects it could have on humans (no scientific proof) so they stopped spraying and consequently the prevalence of malaria rocketed again (India being a good example).
Yeah nice video, but they need a trained entomologist in their team. That very first insect on the film isn’t even a mosquito. It’s a crane fly, or daddy longlegs if you prefer. Other than that, fairplay.
