You realize that people still get polio, right? Long after lead-arsenate and DDT pesticides have been discontinued.

And people far away from the Congo and Ebola river have contracted Ebola. You remember that ebola outbreak in the US, right?

So does the same go for animals, too? I get the feeling that "toxins" and "pollutants" factor heavily into your explanations. Animals living far out in the wild, with no pollution around have been found to have rabies. The same with Hanta virus.

And what was causing things like syphilis back in pre-industrial times when there was very little pollution and syphilis was running rampant?
