Crew was waiting to board. On jet bridge when chemical smell very strong came upon us.  We felt like we were ingesting it.  Eyes teared throat burned. Looked at the plane and first class Galley was being boarded door was opened. That's why the smell came into the jet bridge.  I immediately got my eucalyptus spray and tried to breathe it in. I have asked for over a year for the actual ingredients and again no reply.  After being masked during boarding on the way to ZZZ. No APU. Sweltering in back of plane. Captain said was trying to get outside air. It is absolutely horrible that we have to deal with this and feel like there is a diaper on our faces. Absolutely disgusting!  Can't breathe properly; can't hear my own flying partner yesterday at all. It creates a frustration and headache asking pax and [flight attendants] to repeat themselves over and over.  This is the continuous of over a year and I wrote at that time that I do not consent to this experimental tyranny. I can't see faces; can't describe anyone and it brings on anxiety when I can't even breathe.  Being masked as a healthy person is the worst thing to do. It destroys our immune system.
