Narrative:

At 9000 ft on descent a flight attendant called and stated she had smelled strong toxic smell. She was then put on oxygen. Another crew member had to go by ambulance to the hospital. She was dizzy and had heart pain and her eyes were red and she was not feeling well at all. Paramedics came on board to also check a second crew member who I put on oxygen because he felt dizzy and light headed. I had a headache that lasted a long time.
