Pesticide Sprayed on Passengers on Planes?
If you have never heard of a procedure called "disinsection" you aren't alone. If you travel internationally though, or have plans to in the future, you should Google up what's going on in planes out there.

USA Today explained the procedure in a helpful article and provided the link to the US Department of Transportation's information page, which lists which countries currently have such a requirement.
