Actually Kenya is the world's leading grower of pyrethrum flower.

I hope so
-
The insecticide does less damage to people than the malaria does!
-
good they are getting helped =D

Yeah nice video, but they need a trained entomologist in their team. That very first insect on the film isn't even a mosquito. It's a crane fly, or daddy longlegs if you prefer. Other than that, fairplay.
-
Pyrethroids and the like do no damage to Humans. They are all tested and totally safe. I think they are now selling bedcovers with similar insecticides to control dust mites and therefore allergic reactions such as asthma. Back in the day, DDT was the insecticide of choice, however people all got concerned about the effects it could have on humans (no scientific proof) so they stopped spraying and consequently the prevalence of malaria rocketed again (India being a good example).

It sounds so good, but what damage does the insecticide do to people?
-
