Reports severe symptoms near a tower with improvement after reducing exposure, animal effects attributed …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, my experience w/ EMF ha been a devastating one. A cell tower was put up at a fire station without any notice, and I used to subscribe to the local newspaper, so I should have seen something about it. I had no idea the problem was EMF but after several years of suffering, trying everything to help myself, nothing worked. Long story short: the problem was EMF; the tower directly outside my living room window, with a clear line of sight to our home. I had 15 different health problems (wish I had kept that list), but included heart palpitations (still having this problem), horrible hot flashes, very poor digestion, Reynaud's syndrome, vertigo, always swollen tongue, always feeling zapped/tired, couldn't sleep more than an hour (exhausting) and so on. I was looking to quit my job as I couldn't drive w/ the vertigo. It was bad, turned out life upside down. Once I found out about EMF and practicing "distance and avoid" the symptoms disappeared, some overnight! I also bought a very good quality meter to be sure this was not "in my head"; it wasn't; everytime I'd get near it or overexposed, the symptoms would reappear. My neighbors chickens developed huge ulcers hanging from their necks due to smart meters. The eggs had strange shapes. I've seen first hand "damages" done by these wireless radiation exposure. So, please limit the distance and exposure of EMFs to PEOPLE, espcially residential neighborhoods. It is WRONG to have cell towers near homes, where we should be able to get good slepp to recover and rejuvenate our bodies, our beings. Listen to Environmental Health Trust (EHT) and Childrens Health Defense (CHD) and others like 5G Free California; these people genuinely care and study EMFs; they know what they are talking about. If you need proof, here are a list of some; trust me, EMF problems are real; they cause real health issues and the sad thing is no one is clearly and openly warning people. Thanks to Mr. Kennedy and some others who now are. EHT has been warning us from the start too. * on women's health: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/public-health/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2026.1915745/full * here is one on sleep quality: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychiatry/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2026.1755918/full * how it actually changes our DNA: https://www.emfdata.org/de/studien/detail&id=944 * on testicular health: https://www.emfdata.org/de/studien/detail&id=947 * how it disrupts bats navigation abilities: https://www.emfdata.org/de/studien/detail&id=941 There are many more. It's criminal to put up a cell tower on elementary school grounds or stick laptops on kid's hands to stare at many hours a day. Please take measures to limit wireless tech exposres. I'm not against it; I want CHOICE to use it if I want it. Some want the full exposre, great! They should have it, but it should be a CHOICE to those who don't want it. I live in deep woods, almost off grid, to get away from so much exposure, and it's helped me. I should be able to live in town like others. I've accepted I no long er fly; I no longer to to concerts or any place w/ a lot of people (who all have cell phones). THANK YOU for considering these thoughts. Please help! Please limit exposures and please have it be an option to use wireless. The corded items should be kept as a choice who want it.

Describes pre-existing cardiac conditions, later arrhythmia and sensory symptoms attributed to wireless d…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I had to have open heart surgery at 5 years old for heart inflammation which caused a hole in my heart as well as 3 leaking heart valves. I also discovered when I was in my late 30’s that I had elevated prolactin which could keep me from getting pregnant. Also have bad allergies. Those were my pre-existing conditions. In 2019, I went to my cardiologist who said that although I had leaking heart valves, everything was ok, especially since I am able to do hard construction work on a daily basis. I live 1,568 feet from the closest cell tower (see cell tower 3 pic). After 2020, I noticed that my fingertips were burning badly when I was using my Ipad (wifi). Since I used it alot I have a feeling it damaged the nerves in my fingertips or something. After that I had to stop using my Ipad altogether. I now only use a stylus for my non 5G Iphone. What then started happening is that when I toggled the cellular function on and off on my Iphone, I got like a low level shocking feeling which then travelled up and down my body. So now I only use calls over wifi and don't use the cellular function any longer, even when I'm outside of my house. It's terrible for my business because I’m missing lots of calls, but I know these phones are affecting my health badly. After 2020, at least two more cell towers were put up by my house. They are 5,000 feet from my house (see cell tower 2 pic). Besides more antennas being added to the tower that's 1,568 feet and the other two towers, I now have been diagnosed with a heart arrythmia. My hands fall asleep overnight and many times I feel my heart rate is too low. I have to move between sleeping in two different locations in my house because I think the radio waves from home 5G or people's cell phone pass right through my house. I bought an EMF meter but it doesn’t measure the full spectrum of 5G. In addition, so many of my Evergreen trees and my neighbor’s trees have died. You can clearly see parts of trees which have died if you follow a straight path from the cell tower and their electric/gas meters/house. The shrubs in front of my gas/electric meter have died off as well as my beautiful tree branches right in the path. I spoke to an employee of a local business who told me he used to be a cell tower climber/technician. He told me that cell towers kill trees and they know it. One of my customers got so sick after 2020. She almost lost her house. She also had pre-existing conditions (endometriosis) I had worked at her house prior to 2020. There was no cell tower by her house before 2020. After 2020, a cell tower was put up in front of her house only 384 feet away (see cell tower 1 pic). Her son who’s in his 30’s was constantly sick after that cell tower was put up. He uses his phone a lot. After living in the same place for 25 years, it's easy to see what's happening. Radio waves- although useful- are causing a lot of harm. If the public is made aware of things they can do to reduce their EMF exposure- that would benefit the public. Please help!

Reports sleep, memory and cardiac symptoms associated with towers, smart meters and electrical line noise…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been severely affected by cell tower radiation, smart meter RF radiation and line noise (voltage transients and harmonics from switched mode power supplies), cell phone radiation, LED lights, and essentially anything that emits a PULSED EMF. Cell tower installed 1000 ft from my home. I didn't know it because it was hidden by trees. But suddenly, I wasn't sleeping so well. A year later, I discovered the cell tower but made no association between my poorer sleep and the tower. Yet when I'd visit my parents, who lived where, at the time, there was essentially no cell reception, I slept well again. In 2012, I finally realized that the tower was the likely cause of my poorer sleep. The other troubling thing was, the year the cell tower was installed, the number of insects dropped by about 1/3. All insects, not just some types. I wondered about it, but thought it might be some sort of cyclical or climatic thing. But the populations never recovered. Twelve years later, smart meters were installed. The next year, the insect population was reduced to 1/3 of what it had been pre-cell-tower. The insects never recovered. Four years later, there were hardly even any beetles. They seem to have been the one bug that was more resilient or unaffected than the others. Then, at my parents' home, where I'd always slept really well, I had near-total insomnia. I tossed and turned all night. I didn't know why. My only speculation was that it must be emotional (don't we all go to that when something is unexplained?), though I'd no idea what that might be. Year after year after year, I could not sleep and would go home completely worn out. Then I learned that a PLC meter had been installed on their home in January of the year I became unable to sleep. We installed a whole-house dirty electricity filter and I had no more problems. The smart meters were installed in my neighborhood in 2012. That completely changed my life. This wasn't the poor sleep from the cell tower. This was all-encompassing: terrible, unrestful sleep; transient memory loss; severe fatigue; heart palpitations. There's so much more I could recount, but this gives you a glimpse into what happens to a not unsignificant proportion of the population.

Reports an EHS diagnosis, family and community illness and animal deaths after tower and smart-meter depl…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
MY NEIGHBORS AND ANIMALS ARE DYING I am SICK. My family members have been SICK SINCE more than a hundred UNREGULATED TOWERS WENT LIVE over our community. This has been a challenge for me to get anyone to help in my community. I wanted to share my story in hopes of helping others. My story is one of many in Terrebonne Parish. After multiple (9) 300-foot 5G towers were put over our homes, four 300-foot 5G towers were put over my home and animal sanctuary, and four 300-foot towers were put over my office. At the same time, smart meters were put on my home, along with those of every other Entergy customer. I began getting sick, very sick. It began in my petting area with heart palpitations, headaches, vomiting, ringing in my ears, confusion, bleeding gums, insomnia, nightmares, dizziness, anxiety, ears buzzing 24 hours a day, severe fatigue, muscle weakness, and more. I have now been diagnosed with radiation syndrome / EHS (electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome) caused by extreme exposure to radiation. Many residents are experiencing similar symptoms. Countless children are now suffering. Being a very healthy person my whole life, this has been a life-changing situation. I am usually the one helping others; now I need your help. I never thought this could happen until I was forced to face it by becoming sick. I'm not sure where this illness will take me. However, I must do all I can to protect my family and my community. Seven neighbors on my street and friends have died after the towers went live over their homes. Many other residents are also sick. My community is surrounded by towers that have no regulatory testing information, nor does our planning department ask for it, citing the FCC's outdated RF radiation guidelines. I became certified in RF radiation testing. I now test the towers and smart meters. I can confirm that the EMF (electromagnetic frequency) / RF (radio frequency) radiation being emitted is extreme for every single product, tower, and smart device I have tested. It has been a fight to protect my family, my community, and myself, with EVERYONE CITING THE FCC'S OUTDATED RF RADIATION GUIDELINES. I had to learn all I could about this to protect my health and theirs. I've had to turn my home, where I have lived for 28 years, into an EMF-safe house (until I sell it), as well as my barn, which is surrounded by EMF material and protection. My bed is covered with EMF protection as well due to the radiation levels in my home. I now have to wear protective clothing all day. Leaving my safe area means becoming exposed due to the unbridled towers around me. I am a very private person. This is not easy to share, but if I do not ask for help now, many more innocent people will be sick, or they will die like my neighbors, my friends, and my animals. Since the towers went live, six of my horses have died instantly under the towers. All of my little animals have died. My 200-pound tortoises started going blind. I'm not sure where the daily radiation exposure will take me, so I thought now is the best time to ask for your help in making a change. THE FCC MUST REGULATE THE RADIATION, OR THE DEATH & DESTRUCTION WILL NEVER END. Technology is safe only if it is REGULATED.

Describes a child's nosebleeds, a spouse's cardiac symptoms and personal tingling associated with wireles…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Question 2: Perspective My response represents the perspective of a family member and individual consumer. Question 3: Personal Experiences and Reported Potential Adverse Health Effects a. Types of wireless technology involved: Our family’s symptoms appear linked to mobile phones, Wi-Fi networks, and cellular service infrastructure. b. Nature, duration, frequency, and timing: Symptoms occur consistently in environments with active wireless radiation or during direct use of cellular devices. The effects are more pronounced with prolonged exposure (e.g., using a cellphone for more than two hours per day) or when in close proximity to high densities of devices. c. Potential adverse health effects: Child (Son): Frequently suffers from nosebleeds when exposed to Wi-Fi and cellular service for extended periods. This is especially severe during prolonged cellphone use. Adult (Wife): Experiences increased heart rate and cardiac irregularities (heart skipping a beat) when wireless radiation pulses (such as 5G) seem directed toward her device, or when multiple devices are active simultaneously. Adult (Self): Experiences tingling sensations in fingers when working on a cellphone using cellular data. d. Onset of symptoms: Symptoms typically appear after consistent exposure over time. e. Medical evaluation: We have observed these patterns firsthand within our household. f. Steps taken to reduce exposure: To manage these symptoms, we have implemented significant mitigations. I have stopped using cellular data for work, instead using only a LAN-connected cellphone. We have eliminated WiFi from our home, even though we work from home and run a business as well as hold down a corporate leadership job working from home. We have observed that minimizing exposure in this way helps reduce the frequency and severity of these reported symptoms. g. Supporting documentation and scientific context: We urge the Department to consider that these reported experiences align with concerns regarding non-thermal biological effects. We draw the Department’s attention to the extensive body of peer-reviewed and published studies on the biological effects of wireless radiation available via bioinitiative.org . Additionally, we emphasize the findings of the https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/research/topics/cellphones , which provide critical evidence regarding non-thermal risks that should be incorporated into federal health evaluations.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
since a smart meter was put on the barn - 150 feet from our house - my husband has chest pains, dizziness, and cannot sleep. I have tinnitus now. I never had that before. The cattle (big cattle) no longer go into the barn for water - even in winter when it is cold. The smart meter is on the barn. All this happened soon after smart meters were installed at our farm. My husband has to go to the doctor for medication now....we are young - this is not right!

Reports two family members being largely housebound with symptoms attributed to EMFs and raises concerns …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Two members of my family suffer so much from EMF's that they are basically house bound-----in our shielded home with RF meters to test. There are thousands of of peer reviewed studies that show damage to our bodies, to birds, to bees and to all wildlife. My family members get flu symptoms, heart palpitations, painful swelling of glands, tinnitus, blurry vision and brain fog. It is terrible for them to live in the current environment.
