		<description><![CDATA[One time I was flying from Frankfurt to Hamburg with a German Airline to see a doctor. After a few minutes on board fumes came out of the air condition and my face got numb by the way, severe migraine started dizziness... 

I asked the flight attendant what was going on and she told me: It&#039;s only dry ice we use for the air condition&quot;. Tell me, since when use aircrafts dry ice for air condition? 

Later I collapsed completely. My doctor wrote to the German department of Health and complaint. He had controlled my Acetyl cholinesterase and it was low. This gave us the answer that they might have used Organophosphates. The answer of the German Department of Health was a kind of interesting. They wrote that perhaps I could have pesticide contamination in our private house and we should call a lab to control. No, we never ever used pesticides in our house and it’s a crime that government departments cover up such poisonings.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would prefer not to be made ill in the first place! 

1. Airlines are not proactively interested in passengers&#039; health despite their claims and assertions: action speaks louder than words.  They poison people.
2. Airlines deny that that has been a problem when organophosphates enter the cabin from &#039;bleed air&#039;.  A friend and over fifty other passengers complained that they had been made ill on an aircraft.  The airline wrote an identical letter to them all : &quot;No one else has complained.&quot;  LIARS.
3. Airlines depend on the hope that we the public haven&#039;t got the resources to sue them.  Too often they are right on this one.
4.  My young grandchildren have been sprayed on board aircraft.  Have airlines no pity?

I have not travelled by air since I was made seriously ill five years ago.  The airlines regulate themselves and that is the real problem.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would like to see an objective risk-benefit study that evaluated the damage prevented by the use of insecticides on aircraft versus the damage caused by them in terms of hours of work lost.  Couldn&#039;t insect traps keep levels of insects low enough to where their risk is negligible?  These national laws requiring insect spraying before aircraft land in a country were reduced after Hillary Clinton travelled to South Africa in the 1990&#039;s and was sprayed en route.  Many of the laws were enacted tit for tat because countries retaliated with such laws.  The effectiveness of such spraying in preventing insect-bourne illness from entering countries has not been proven.  Airlines do not like these matters to be discussed in the mass media, which discourages progress toward rational laws.]]></description>
