Narrative:

While working the flight in bunkroom and after flight the night of and day after coming back; I had a bad headache. The night we got in I had such a headache body temperature went way up with no sweating but very hot and then chills. Headache got so bad came close to vomiting. The next day I still had the headache and so did my co-workers. Come to find out they had the same symptoms as I did hot and then cold with a headache. It was our bodies trying to get rid of the pesticides that were sprayed that morning. Supplemental information from acn 778323: I am complaining about the disinfectant agents used on this aircraft. I observed it had been disinfected on feb/xa/08 the same day as my flight. After break I started to have a pounding headache something very rare with me. I asked my colleagues if they also experienced headaches and 4 flight attendants told me yes; also my throat was getting sore and difficult to swallow. I advised the flight attendant to report it also. I believe the cause of this was the fact the aircraft was disinfected in southeast asia that morning and we suffered the effects in-flight. Another flight attendant told me never before did she have to stop during the service to drink something as she became very thirsty during the last service. There is something very bad in my opinion about this disinfecting agent and it must be investigated before very bad symptoms pop up in the very near future. I still have a headache and it's 14 hours after getting off the aircraft.
