Ill Health could it be the cabin environment?
Just wanting some feedback from any crew that may be suffering from ill health? Have you noticed any fumes on your flights? Have you been suffering fatigue, headaches, breathing difficulties, skin rashes, memory loss to name a few........what aircraft types do you crew?

Which aircraft? It appears that some people are susceptible to minute amounts of the unpleasant stuff (organo-phosphates and the like) that are found in aviation oils but other, lucky people, are not. I have many former colleagues who have believe they suffered from some form of aerotoxic poisoning.
