Narrative:
During boarding; the entire crew smelled an exhaust-like smell; like burning oil. It was thick and irritating to my eyes and throat. I notified captain; and stopped boarding. He thought it was possibly de-icing fluid burning off the packs. After takeoff; the smell returned full force. It was so bad; I called him even though we were not out of 10;000 feet. He was able to play with the packs; and the smell dissipated. During descent; the smell came back full force again. I had irritation to my throat and my eyes were burning. The smell was acrid and thick; and you could taste it in your mouth; and feel it in your eyes.went to company doctor. Was losing my voice and was very fatigued. Watery eyes and a chemical-like burn/sore on my lip. Heavy throat irritation.
