If over-used, DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane) is likely to kill a lot of fish.
If used properly (something that the World Health Organization is trying to do) then it will be present in most plants and animals. It is highly unlikely that it will approach dangerous levels as you would have to literally eat buckets of DDT to approach lethal exposure.

The shell would break before the eaglet had time to hatch, thus reducing the population and threatening their extinction.
What disease does DDT cause?
DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) is primarily known as a pesticide, and while it is not a direct cause of a specific disease, its use has been associated with various health issues. Long-term exposure to DDT is linked to reproductive problems, developmental issues in children, and potentially an increased risk of certain cancers, including breast cancer. Additionally, it can disrupt endocrine function, leading to hormonal imbalances. Its environmental persistence also raises concerns about bioaccumulation and effects on wildlife.
