Say what?
|
not only it kills all bugs and other organisms, it is also a mandatory requirement of certain countries the aircraft is flying into. |

This is a legal requirement although not in all countries. Definately has to be done from Africa, tropical places. |

Bugs and rodents could be transfered by a person and/or cargo. |

Yes, it can happen on a domestic flight if your aircraft came from an international flight. We (flight attendants) don't spray the plane ourselves. It doesn't happen 5 minutes prior to boarding, so relax. |

It's only done when a plane is entering a country--THe only one that I"ve seen do it is Australia inbound flights, but there are probably more.
It's to prevent the introduction of bad critters and bugs to the country. It's basically harmless to people (unless you opend up your mouth and sprayed it right in).
Never happens on US Domestic flights... |

its definitely dangerous, but its far better than dealing with crawling insects |

They do it to try and kill any bugs or lice the passengers maybe carrying. And yep, it is probably not that good for you. |

To kill any organisms brought in from another country. |

Probably because people are served meals, and people bring fruits and other snack foods aboard, which attract rodents and other pests. It would be no more dangerous than if you ate dinner at the local diner, they use pesticides and sometimes live traps in restaurants/diners/cafes all over the world, to control this same problem. |

In the summer of 2004 I was travelling to Bangladesh on Gulf Air. After we had finished boarding the flight attendent sprayed on both aisles twice. I had to cover my mouth. |

Apparently, like most health-related situations, the long-term threats are less important than the short-term ones. |
