I wish they'd have mentioned that jet fuel uses leaded gasoline still. Lead poisoning could explain some of these symptoms.

No, jet fuel does not contain lead. Only fuel for piston-driven aircraft contains lead.

“Jet aircraft and turbine-powered, propeller aircraft do not use avgas, but instead use fuels very similar to kerosene, which does not contain a lead additive.”

I stand corrected
Gasoline is only used in smaller propeller planes, kerosene contains no lead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avgas
