It's just a depopulation spray... nothing to worry about.

Spray Pesticide in a confined non-ventilated area. You know the thing it explicitly says not to do on literally every can of commercial off the shelf insecticide. Genius.

Though everyone is going to have to be cautious going forward taking random videos circulating online as gospel truth of something that is actually happening with all the AI Video and Image generators around and how fast they’re rapidly improving.

What the absolute, take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut, is this shit!

From a tweet reply:

Airplane cabins arriving from Spain are mandated by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be sprayed with the insecticide phenothrin, a synthetic pyrethroid, in alignment with international regulations set by the WHO and the International Civil Aviation Organization.

Inhalation of phenothrin aerosols can cause immediate respiratory symptoms such as throat irritation, coughing, sneezing, headaches or dizziness.

Repeated or high-level exposure to phenothrin can lead to allergic reactions, including allergic rhinitis or contact dermatitis. Severe allergic reactions can occur in hypersensitive individuals.

There is potential for neurological effects from phenothrin exposure, including paresthesia (tingling or numbness), and severe neurological impacts like seizures have been observed in animal studies.

Phenothrin can increase estrogen-sensitive cell proliferation, which could have implications for hormonal balance, and an increased risk of conditions like breast cancer.

Long-term exposure studies in animals show an increased risk of liver cancer.

Children, the elderly, and people with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions are at higher risk of experiencing severe reactions from phenothrin inhalation.

Studies have linked phenothrin to increased mammary tissue proliferation, a potential long-term health risks.

A study published in the journal "Environmental Health Perspectives" discusses the potential for pyrethroids like phenothrin to cause endocrine disruption, with long-term health implications.

The WHO and ICAO endorse phenothrin for aircraft disinsection, but they also recommend minimizing exposure by ensuring proper ventilation and timing the spraying to minimize passenger contact.

The enclosed environment of aircraft amplifies these risks.

Does this not affect the flight attendants as well? I'd be getting a new career!

I would have been rolling around in the isle, clutching my neck and coughing violently. Spraying raid on passengers is totally out of line

Why is the WHO, still a thing?

This spray is in case we make it to our destination safely.

Air New Zealand has done that for at lest 40 years, they do not want any nasties into their country whose economy is mainly agricultural. They will prosecute anyone when even brings an apple core through passport control. Many famous people have been banned from NZ for this "I am a celebrity, I don't have to follow your primitive rules!"

No one has died as a result of thier passenger cabin spraying, or even injured.

I’d be saying WTF?
