Do not panic, the pilot's airline is formal, the man is currently in good health. The passengers feared a recurrence of the spider, despite a meticulous disinsection.
However, it arrives in extreme cases in the event of an allergy that a spider bite is more dangerous, and it arrives in cases even rarer than the consequences of these symptoms can endanger the lives of several people. However, this is what happened for this plane pilot.
As the Ouest France relays, the facts took place in an Airbus 320 from the Iberia company. He left Düsseldorf (Germany) airport and was to make a stopover in Madrid on Saturday, February 22, before soon leaving for Vigo (Galicia). However, the presence of a spider in the pilots' interior decided otherwise.
A tarantula according to the crew
This spider (which would be a tarentule, according to the crew), bit the pilot in full flight, while the latter is allergic. Thanks to a corticosteroid? Anti-inflammatory coticoid, the pilot could be treated on the spot. Passengers for Vigo had to accuse three hours late, until the pitching protocol was set up.
Going on the plane, the passengers, who had been informed of the reason for their delay, were not quiet. As reported by the local media La Voz de Galicia, several of them testified that they have looked several times in their siege and between their affairs, in case a spider has survived disinsection.
The Iberia company wanted to reassure the state of the plane pilot, saying that its health was good. The rest of the Airbus flight program was subsequently carried out without problems, no other spider in sight. The spider may have entered the plane during a stopover in the city of Casablanca with on -board luggage.
WHO's recommendations regarding discinitization
According to recommendations from the World Health Organization, (WHO) and a report by the Ministry of Health, disinsection must be applied “in airports open to international traffic and around them”Due“vectors and vector transmission diseases ”.
According to the report, the products recommended by the WHO are “Permethrine and D-Phenothrine”. Indeed, the Pyrethrinoids have a low rate of toxicity for humans and have a strong potential insecticide at low doses. In particular, they must be sprayed in countries where dengue and the chikungunya virus rages.
