Narrative:

The #2 flight attendant (flight attendant) thought she smelled an unusual odor during boarding. I was not sure. But after takeoff the bad odor became very strong throughout the cabin. It smelled like mold; musty attic; wet dog; stinky socks and fumes. The captain was notified. After 15 minutes the captain called us back and said he was turning off a pac. This caused the odor to dissipate but caused the cabin to become very warm the entire flight. My eyes got watery and burning and my mouth got very dry.
