"Aerotoxic Syndrome": pilot & passengers poisoned by engine fumes (Chemtrail related?)

Former Australian pilot says toxic engine fumes made him sick

Campaigners say that poisonous chemicals leaking into the aircraft cabin cause symptoms ranging from dizziness, hallucinations, memory loss and fatigue to seizures and even paralysis.

Passengers are also thought to be affected, but campaigners say the symptoms are often confused with jetlag, so few complain.

"On my last flight in 2006 my fingers were paralysed and I couldn't move my hands" he said.
