DDT is a persistent chemical - it does not break down after it is used. So if you spray DDT to kill bugs, and birds eat the bugs, the birds now have DDT in them. Some species of birds almost went extinct because the DDT made their eggshells so weak that the chicks couldn't survive. You don't want to have a chemical around that solves one problem, but creates a hundred more.

Why Do People not have to worry about pesticide residues?

Because there is no sufficient evidence to prove this theory. A theory is only as good as the evidence it is based on, in this case not much. I do not worry about pesticide residues because no one has yet suffered anything from it. People don't have to worry about pesticide residues because the E.C.P.A (European Crop Protection Association) is very strict to ensure that their customers are protected and not exposed to residues levels that can affect our health.
