Airlines Spraying Fliers With Pesticides Inside the PlaneChemical pesticide exposure happens If you live nearby a farm you know what it feels like. Spraying happens. If its not aerosol spraying high up in the sky or wafts from crop dusting its being sprayed while inside a locked, pressurized tube? Is there no escape? What is a chemical sensitive or asthmatic person to do? Have you ever felt sick after a flight but couldnt pin it as a virus? Do you ever feel like a bug? Sara Novak of Organic Authority reports malaria and yellow fever given as justifications for spraying and says: Roger Wendell who runs a travel blog recorded this video of a flight attendant hosing down the cabin with an unidentified chemical. He said: Mother Jones recounts the exact chemicals used and reports that the practice is not new: The report goes on to show that the practice is dangerous and completely useless next to non-invasive, non-chemical methods that can first determine if there is even a need (bait station, caulking, sticky traps, gels etc). And it can lead to pest resistance. Obviously, no one wants the spread of disease. But this is the problem with unfettered regulatory acceptance of chemical patent holders innovative and safe alternatives never see the light of day. The EPA ushers in chemical approvals, often taking the word of the company. It does not play a role in inspection or checking up on human health effects. Some would say that kind of exposure of a threat was an assault and a crime. With safer alternatives already available, such chemical exposure appears senseless. In 2015 is this the best we can do? Well-intentioned or not, it is a sorry shame that you cannot even hop a plane to your vay-cay without being cooked and sprayed Resources: [1] Brain Fog, by the late Bruce Haney Public domain image modified by Heather Callaghan Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

Strongly. I noticed, after spraying 97% of people immidiately felt asleep, and me too. I was feeling like dragged, havy eye lids, blurry mind. I looked around, and all my neighbors just passed out in weird, unconfortable possitions, me too. I woke up with neck ache in half way of four hours flight, and I noticed, that life was comming back to the aircraft, but all the time I was feeling strange taste in my mouth, like being poisoned, really delicate on my tongue, and dryness in mouth, because I am really sensitive to poisons. Thank God it was only four hours, so I didnt developped serious asthma attack on the way back, but I got sick a day after. On the way to Mexico it was much worse, because we have done two hours waiting on the airport in Chicago, where airconditioning was really bad, so, after that plus spraying in the aircraft and poisoned air there I welcomed Mexico half dead drowning in own sneeze and coughing like crazy.. I also noticed then massive sleepyness right after spraying. Thank God for Sun and Ocean which cured me in few hours. I understand vectors and desises, but I am not a bug! Its time to stop flying. When people started to be afraid of opening window for fresh air and antiseptic powers of Sun?
