Fungus to the rescue

One of the dirty little secrets of the Ecology religion is that, by banning DDT to protect birds, the "side effect" has been an upsurge in Malaria deaths in Africa, since other insecticides are much more expensive and dangerous to humans...

So now the BBC reports spraying a fungus might kill the mosquitoes...a "green" and natural way to decrease mosquitos that carry disease

Ah, but 1) will it harm humans
2) will it contaminate food, leading to loss of stored grain
3) HOW expensive will it be?
4)different mosquitoes carry different disease...which mosquitoes will it kill? and will it kill GOOD insects that are needed for the ecosystem?

Developing....
