Sensitivity & health experiences

I feel that exposure levels do not reflect what we now know about biological effects of EMF, that they are too high and need to be lowered and regulated. I experience heart rate increases near WiFi and bluetooth, but I am unable to avoid it while moving about my daily life. I have friends who get headaches, tinnitus, brain fog, fatigue and body pain around dense EMF sources, including newer vehicles. I know people who must avoid places, whether business or personal, because the EMF fields are dense and debilitating. Because so few people have been educated/warned about proper use of EMF emitting devices, and telecom companies have penetrated into our communities with poor oversight over their support infrastructure, many of us have symptoms without knowing why. Physicians are not trained to suspect EMF exposures as factors in many illnesses. Please consider the quality research that has been done over the decades on microwave exposures, radiofrequency exposures, electrical fields, magnetic fields, dirty electricity, and combinations. Please consider studies that have been performed on the effects of these high fields on all species, and especially humans and especially vulnerable people and children. Please downwardly adjust recommended exposure levels to reduce non-thermal effects to biolotical systems. Thank you.

As a retired RN, I'd like to speak for those of us with EMF sensitivity/illness. We don’t often get a window into the life of a person with EHS (electro-magnetic hypersensitivity) – how isolating it is – how marginalized people are – and how withdrawn they must become to protect what is left of their health. We need to listen with ears wide open. This is real and real people are living greatly diminished lives. Imagine yourself forced to give up a productive life to live on the edge, and that edge keeps moving. Imagine being denied access to business opportunities, education, transportation, healthcare, public participation, recreation and places of celebration and renewal. Again and again we are hearing the same things. I lived a normal life until… smart meters were installed on my wall… until a major cell phone tower was built next door…. until my office installed several wireless routers. My family didn’t understand. It took me some time to realize what was making me sick. It destabilized my relationships. I lost my freedom. People with EHS have to give up so many things most people take for granted in life. Shopping, going out to dinner, attending meetings in public places, going to a child’s graduation or recital, travel along an interstate or by rail or air. Everyday activities that make up the fabric of life are no longer accessible – at least without paying the price. It is an insidious and invisible progression where the activities of daily life are incrementally diminished by exposures that intensify with time, subject to no health and safety accounting at all!!! No one is keeping track of cumulative RF body burdens. There is no governmental agency that is tracking EHS illness reports, nor conducting a serious effort to revise health standards!!! EHS is real and people are being harmed by wireless technology. Please set lower MPEs for this real toxin.

I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The Court directed the FCC to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. Specifically, the court required the FCC to address the impacts of RF radiation on children, the health implications of long-term exposure, the ubiquity of wireless devices and technological developments, impacts on the environment, and the adequacy of the FCC’s testing procedures for cell phones and other portable devices. The FCC should fully consider evidence and real-world experiences concerning the health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation, including non-cancer health effects, impacts on children, long-term and cumulative exposure, cancer, and impacts on wildlife and the environment. The FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology or public health. Yet, the agency continues to assert authority over RF exposure standards and is preparing to reach conclusions about whether its existing guidelines adequately protect the public. I urge the FCC to recognize the critical role of federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. This issue matters to me personally because: I’ve been suffering from EMR Syndrome for 5 years. Whenever there’s a cell phone turned on near me—or Wi-Fi, a DECT phone, a cordless device, or an antenna nearby—I get headaches, pain all over my body, and brain fog. I become aggressive, and if it goes on for too long, I end up with burnout or depression... I’m a musician and flute teacher. I’ve not been able to play in concert the late 2 years. I can still teach, but it’s become very difficult. If I'm in my classroom and there's a cell phone turned on in the hallway, I can't see it, but I can sense it! I have to wear protective clothing—it's very expensive, but it's not enough—and it's very hard to live like this. I’m OK when there is less than 0,020 V/m (HF). I can support with the shielding clothes until 0,2 V/m during one or maybe 2 hours. If it is 1V/m or more, that’s not possible for me, and I’ll be very ill during at least 2 weeks. It’s not possible to travel, nor to go at restaurant, cinema, concert, etc. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

I am commenting about this case as I have been greatly impacted by wireless for about 15 years. I was very sick with extreme heart problems , migraines , digestive problems , brain fog, light sensitivity and extreme fatigue. After seeing many doctors who were no help I started doing my own research to figure out what was causing my health problems. I decided to greatly limit my exposure to anything, wireless, especially wifi. I got rid of all my wireless devices and slowly all my health problems started to go away. My health returned to normal after about a year living in the rural area. Everything I use now is hardwired. The migraines after 12 years stopped in one day being away from the wireless. Imagine what it’s like living in this country where wireless is ubiquitous, it’s not easy but my life is so much better now. I think the way the FCC has tried to bury this issue is a disgrace in light of all the global studies that show harm, even the NIH showed harm.. The US has the second highest allowable cell towers. An industry run governmental branch, the FCC is harming people and the flora fauna. And the 1996 telecom act is way out dated and a disgrace to humanity.

There are indications that humans possess a magnetic sense. Since this is a fact that has not yet shifted the scientific paradigm, we must rely on current knowledge. Is it ethical to turn a deaf ear? Canaries were used to ensure the safety of mines. We have “canaries” who can speak and write, but our current worldview prevents us from listening to them. It’s ethical to consider this line of thinking. What if people had a magnetic sense? What would change then? What should be studied in that case? What should be taken into account? What should be done differently? What should be done when it is a known fact that all senses function in such a way that there are people in the population whose particular sense is more sensitive than the average? We are familiar with hyper-tasters, people with hypersensitivity to sound, people with sensitivity to light, etc. Is it ethically right, then, to design living environments in such a way that a sensitive person cannot find refuge from the very factor that causes their sensitivity and symptoms? Magnetic sensitivity could affect neurological symptoms, such as dizziness, headaches, or sleep disturbances, especially in technology-rich environments. Doctors might begin to assess magnetic sensitivity as part of a neurological examination, particularly in patients with unexplained symptoms. A new medical specialty might emerge—such as “magneto-neurology”—that focuses on the effects of magnetic fields on the human nervous system. Current safety limits (e.g., SAR values for MRI machines) are based on tissue heating and electromagnetic effects. If magnetic sensitivity were recognized, restrictions might also be imposed based on neurological effects. Henshaw, D. L., & Philips, A. (2024). A mechanistic understanding of human magnetoreception validates the phenomenon of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). International Journal of Radiation Biology , 1–19. https://doi.org/10.1080/09553002.2024.2435329   Open Access article. I have symptoms: pains that come and go, pain in everywhere : ears, fingers, legs, teeth, tongue. Skin burning. I can't hear properly when there is too much radiation. I can't sleep since my neighbour watches smart-TV at night and my body resonates with the wireless technology used. My blood sample shows that I have become allergic. Elevated allergy year through even though I am supposed to have symptoms only when trees blossom in the spring. It feels all of a suddend that air is really cold eventhough I know it's completely normal. Radiation feels like the air is polluted and dangerous. I know that what I'm saying sounds odd. Please do something to wifi and base town radiation. No wireless meters for waterconsumtion, electricity consumtion. No wireless firealarms, wireless fresh air sensoreita. I deserve to live a normal life but I live inside a nightmare. It's a deligate matter and you will publish it online. Seriously??!!!

Following the installation of 5G antennas in 2021 on the roof of a neighboring building : Mid-February 2024, strange headaches appear, with a runny nose. My histamine level high, which is a characteristic marker of intolerance to electromagnetic waves. I take metro line 3 In Paris and inside the carriage, my legs are suddenly electrified. I could no longer walk. My legs had become as if on fire. Mid-June 2024, still inside the carriage of line 3 in the metro, this time the entire body is electrified, at Saint-Lazare station in Paris. Mid-August 2024, a new neighbor with a 5 Ghz router, and my face and my entire body began to burn. An association advised me to take shelter in my cellar. Luckily I had one, to escape the burning sensations. I am in possession of three medical certificates that I can send to you personally upon your request: • The first certifying my intolerance to electromagnetic waves from August 26, 2024. • Medical certificate from September 9, 2024, diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy at Henri-Mondor Hospital. Reason for the examination: investigation of neuropathy in the presence of pain like electric shocks and stabbing sensations, initially in the lower limbs then diffuse, onset in February 2024 at the same time as intolerance to electromagnetic fields. Physiology and functional exploration department, at Henri-Mondor University Hospital Center. • Another, certifying my EHS, electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome, on On July 24, 2026 Here is a very interesting read for you: Radiofrequency radiation-induced gene expression Revue / Source : Reviews on Environmental Health. Publication en ligne anticipée. Lien : https://doi.org/10.1515/reveh-2025-0104 In light of these severe health impacts, I urge the FCC to apply the precautionary principle (as recognized in international environmental standards, such as Principle 15 of the 1992 Rio Declaration) and revise its obsolete RF exposure guidelines under 47 CFR § 1.1307 to truly protect human health.

Greetings - I am writing to provide first hand knowledge of the effects of EMFs, RF radiation and wireless radiation exposure on the public, and more specically, my wife. My lovely, outgoing wife was a dedicated, hard working school teacher who loved her profession and her ability to interact with children. Approximately 11 years ago, my wife's school district upgraded it's wi-fi system, thereby over saturating the school's teachers, staff and students with EMFs, RFs and wireless radiation. She along with other teachers immediately felt ill from the radiating wireless routers. The results on my wife have been devastating. She now suffers from headaches, burning skin, foggy headness and multiple other symptoms. Tragically, this all could been avoided had the school district heeded the warnings of multiple experts who warned of the consequences of oversaturating the school with wireless routers. In addition to my wife's symptoms, the resulting harm has had a profound effect on our lives together. My wife cannot travel, even for short distances, without experiencing symptoms. We can only spend limited time at restaurants, movies or with friends at their homes. My wife can no longer work which has caused us a substantial financial burden. In all, the results of these exposures have been devastating. The effect of EMFs, RFs and wireless radiation on the public must be studied and regulated in the hopes that these injuies will be prevented from harming innocent people in the future. Water in a reservoir can be helpful to people. Once the reservoir is broken and water comes flooding through the dam, the effects are devastating. Such is the case with EMFs, RFs and wireless radiation. The dam is about to break. There are already numerous studies showing biological harm. Here are some: https://www.americansforresponsibletech.org/science https://ehtrust.org/science/# Physicians for Safe Technology | Military and Government Reports

Please pay attention to the studies showing EMF damage to humans. They are real! I have suffered from dizziness from 5G radiation! Thank you, Martha Byron

My life has been horribly effected by wireless technology. The lives of millions of people are being harmed on a daily basis by today's wireless world. FCC's RF exposure guidelines for the omnipresence of wireless devices and technological developments were last updated in 1996. This is the same as thirty years ago that leaded gasoline was still considered OK. Thirty years ago cell phones were bulky, expensive devices primarily used for making calls and sending texts. The cell phones were so expensive very few people used them. Now, the world is full of wireless technology. The fact that the FCC has not updated the guidelines is the same as still allowing people to smoke in the neonatal (new babies) area of the hospital and on airplanes. It is vital to update the exposure guidelines. Please refer to BioInitiative Report (2012, with Subsequent Research Updates): Updated Research Summaries – Collection of scientific research concerning neurological effects, oxidative stress, DNA damage, genetic effects, and electromagnetic sensitivity. Individual summaries have different update dates, including 2022. The FCC's job is to protect consumers. Currently consumers are being harmed on a constant basis by wireless technology. It is the FCC's job to fix this terrible problem.

I am a 72 year old female who have noticed over the pass 6 years that inside my home I am being mentally and physically attacked by the electrical outlets and radiation from 5g wifi. In my kitchen, I become light headed and off balanced the entire time I am in the kitchen. I get electric shocks on the top and bottom of my feet and toes, when standing in front of the dishwasher, stove and refrigerator. I also get pain in my ankles. When passing by or standing in front of a electrical outlet I am shocked by dirty electricity. Any equipment I have that hooks to wifi and/or blue tooth, I get shocked just passing by. Passing by my tv, wifi router I get pain in my entire body head to toe. When using my cellphone I feel the effects of the EMF and the radiation in my fingers and hands also when I am using my laptop computer my finger tips are getting radiated and shocked and I feel numbness from the radiation and pain all the way to the bones. I am constantly lightheaded with a headache and I can feel the effects EMF, Wifi, microwave and radiation inside my home and outside of my house as well. Thank you, F Odum
