I Saubmitte3de An FOIA Request To The CDC Last February

I saubmitte3de an FOIA request to the CDC last February with no reply and filed again with a cover letter from Congressman Deutch in June with a non responsive reply. The Request was to ascertain why the CDC does not recomment the use of DDT to control the ZIKA borne mosquitoes. The CDC web site says "DDT may cause harm to wild life". I requested any info they have on nhuman death or illness caused by DDT spraying since during and after WWii HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WERE SPRAYED DIRECTLY ON THEIR BODIES AND FROM THE AIR OVER OUR SOUTHERN STATES AND ELSEWHERE . A huge epidemiological population! I know of no reported death or illness cases and since the US and UN ban on DDT in n1974 onm average a million people have DIED each year due to malaria and other mosquito borne diseases. Due to mits proven effectivnes wouldn't it make sense to use it?
