A few nights ago I was in town when a truck came by with a thing in the bed that unleashed copious amounts of white smoke. Everyone else seemed Ok with it, children were running into the smoke. I thought it must be pesticides or something and ran the other way. It went around the whole city, alarm blaring, smoke spewing. What was it?

DDT


Damn. Beat me to the punch.

Fun fact: Banning DDT actually had a larger deleterious effect than the actual bad side effects of the chemical itself.

It's not DDT. North of the border yes, down here no.

Not saying it's healthy to breathe in whatever it is.
