Remoak,
Passengers are starting to report identical symptoms to aircrew.
I was talking to a passenger yesterday who has been frequent flying on an infamous 4 engine jet and he was just curious as to whether his symptoms of tingling pins and needles in hands & feet, nausea, scratchy eyes, sneezing fits and tired lethargy might be linked to his flying as the two have been totally coincidental. As it happens, he has swapped to another carrier with a different fleet and feels better!
I'm only passing on exactly what he said.
He's going for a blood / fat tests today to try and find out what's going on? I'll keep you posted.......
I reminded him to gently educate his GP as he wouldn't be expected to know about any mysterious ill health linked to flying; despite it being common in aircrew.
Don't shoot the messenger!
