Abstract
We update the bounds on fermions with electric charge and mass . For we find is excluded by laboratory experiments, astrophysics and cosmology. For larger masses, the limits are less restrictive and depend on . For milli-charged neutrinos, the limits are stronger, especially if the different flavors mix as suggested by current experimental evidence.
