RFI: Adverse effects of impregnated bed nets
Dear Torben,
When we advocate use of pesticides we should be convinced that it is
the only alternative available to control pests. As far as mosquitoes
and use of impregnated bed nets to me it is only business and exploi-
tation of markets in the tropics.
I know there are people who are sensitive to deltamethrin but here
what counts is dead mosquitoes and not the allergies that arise from
the deltamethrin used on the net.
Would you be kind enough and tell us how you plan to look at the ad-
verse effects the nets are going to bring to the people who sleep un-
der those nets.
