Many Ward 3 homes are co-infested with bedbugs AND head lice brought home from elementary schools. The lice are already resistant to pyrethrin insecticides, like Nix shampoo. DDT was used for lice in WWII to prevent typhus, so they've already had plenty of exposure to it. We need to find out what DDT would do to the lice now. Would it produce another resistance? It might be possible to limit resistance in single family dwellings, but in high-rises, libraries, schools, and other public spaces?
