Very Disturbing

We flew Aeromexico from Guadalajara to San Francisco a few days ago. I still can’t believe what they did to us.

After all the passengers were seated and the cabin doors were closed, one flight attendant discharged 2 aerosol canisters of pesticide, holding them high over peoples heads, as she slowly walked up the aisle - then came slowly back to give everyone a second dose. The entire cabin was very hazy, and remained so for 15 or 20 minutes.

I waited until we had taken off and the flight attendants were moving around the cabin. Went to the rear of the plane to ask what the chemical was. “Oh, it’s harmless to people. It just kills flies” What was the chemical? “Oh, we don’t know. It’s not allowed to stay on the airplane. They remove it before we leave the gate.” What was the chemical? “You can ask the people in charge in SF once we land.”

I made it clear that I would not leave the airplane until I was given the information. Several hours later, just before we landed, one of the attendants showed me a screen shot, indicating that the chemical was permethrin.
