is it just me, or does the animal image in the frame on the wall look like it has a skull head. were the artists in the ad company trying to warn people? do we still need to wonder why so many people have chronic health problems?

So convenient! So safe! Just ignore the fact that you are soaking your bare hands in DDT-laced water when you prepare the paper for hanging.
The DDT on the wallpaper really was probably the safest exposure compared to the alternative ways it was used. I expect a lot of people were like an elderly neighbor of mine years ago, who kept her can of Raid in the kitchen and sprayed everytime she saw a roach, nevermind if where she saw it was on the plate she was eating from. That was in the post-DDT days, but she was likely doing the same thing long before I was born.
Where do you find this stuff!! LOL
I hope the kid doesn't get it mixed up with Willy Wonka's fruity wallpaper and try licking it....on second thoughts, that could be rather interesting....haha
{snickers} Between the Cocaine ToothDrops and the DDT Wallpaper(!!!) it's amazing people ever LIVED, let alone reproduced! Shudders...
Glad to see you post. Thinking of you lots, sending bestest wishes...
DDT ceiling papers! Golly, there's Pluto too!
So innocent, so deadly.

Wow DDT wallpaper...how very safe for the baby....NOT. Isn't it scary what they will tell us is safe and then we find out later it's horribly toxic...makes me pause for a moment when I struggle with a chronic disease that's invisible, there's no blood test for, and hmmmm there's no known cause for...yikes...lol
I had never heard of this frightening product that is covered with cute animals. The accompanying text is very manipulative. Science? Hardly. I see how this type of chemical use led us to the illnesses we have today. It's funny and it's also scary. I see the skull on the animal in the picture. I don't think you are seeing things. Do we laugh or cry?

stunning, isn't it? i'd never heard of anything like this. i see what yanub means about this being the least toxic way of using DDT, though dunking your hands in the warm wallpaper water doesn't seem too safe. people did use those chemicals in close quarters, didn't they? but wait a minute...this is an ad from 1947 and i grew up in the 70's and 80's and i hate that i know exactly what "raid" smells like. i guess i can't say that this is just a silly thing from the past. what will people 20 years from now think about parents spraying rooms with "febreeze?" will we ever learn?
Nooooooo! I can't believe it. Where do you get these ads? Incredible. And I'm with you on the febreeze. I wince every time I see any ad with sprays and stuff.
Scaaaarrrrreeeeeee ! I expect the kind of paranoid parent who'd use this stuff would have and DDT laced cutlery, crockery, nappies ( diapers), chocolate too. Frightening. Febreeze is noxious stuff too. When it first came out tre were all sorts of concnerns about its uses around pets and birds. I once styaed ina hotel room for one night that had been Febrezed. Took me a week to get over it.
cusp: maybe there's a whole DDT line that i haven't found ads for yet. those nasty flies and germs could be anywhere. febreeze is disgusting! i've been in hotel rooms that have been sprayed and it really makes me feel nauseated. there are a lot of gross modern chemicals that are advertised in gross modern ways.
This is horrfying. I've never heard of this before.
