Re: Spraying in airplanes etc (was Why do the potentized preps work)

Allan - You were lucky that they sprayed after disembarking passengers!
Some years ago I was on a flight (can't remember the destination, possibly
Jordan) when, immediately after landing, the cabin attendants came through
with small aerosol cans and sprayed the passengers.  It wasn't at all
thorough, so I imagine they were just making a gesture, but we got most of
it at head level.  I was also in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) about 15 years ago
when the entire city was sprayed from twin-engined aircraft flying at low
level.  I was told it happened around 3pm daily and that the material
sprayed was DDT.  Nobody bothered to get off the streets or close windows
etc.  Good reason for women veiling up, perhaps?              Tony N-S.
