* * *

n.
a powerful insecticide that was formerly widely used against lice, fleas, flies, bed bugs, cockroaches, and other disease-carrying and destructive insects. It is a relatively stable compound that is stored in animal fats, and the quantities now present in the environment - in the form of stores accumulated in animal tissues - have led to its use being restricted. Acute poisoning, from swallowing more than 20 g, produces nervous irritability, muscle twitching, convulsions, and coma, but only a few fatalities have been reported.

* * *

dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, a chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticide that is moderately toxic; it was formerly widely used but is now banned in the United States except for a few specialized purposes because of the ecological damage it causes.
