Narrative:

During our safety demonstration, I happened to pick up from our demonstration bag a 'real' oxygen mask (rather than a demonstration). While performing the demonstration, I discovered it had a very foul smell, which within a very short time I got a headache. As time went on my headache grew worse. I took 2 aspirins, headache only kept getting worse. On descent, I took a few bites of food and a tylenol, then shortly I was vomiting. After takeoff I attempted to help with service but was dizzy and too weak to do so.
