The commenter reports headaches, ear sensations, dizziness and tachycardia beginning after household wire…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Good afternoon, I am a 33-year-old woman. In 2025, when 5G internet (as well as 5 GHz Wi-Fi) was introduced in my house, I started experiencing headaches on the very same day. Whenever I went outside, away from Wi-Fi, the headache would disappear after a while. As soon as I returned home, it would come back. Around three days after 5G was introduced, I also started experiencing a pulsing sensation in my ears, a symptom I had never experienced before in my life. I also own an apartment where I have to spend several days every week due to work. When my neighbours in the adjoining apartments started getting 5G, I found that I physically could not stay in my apartment for long periods of time. My headaches became persistent and no longer went away easily, even when I was away from Wi-Fi. Over the following months, I also began experiencing regular episodes of tachycardia accompanied by elevated blood pressure, despite never having had any problems with my blood pressure before. I underwent a brain MRI because of my headaches, and some spots were found on my brain. My neurologist told me that, in my case, these spots indicate changes in blood circulation in the brain. On several occasions, I had to stay in a room with an active 5G modem. Each time, the result was a severe headache and dizziness so intense that I felt nauseated, all within less than an hour. I simply had to leave the room and go outside because I physically could not remain there. This summer, I had a three-week holiday that I spent in nature, with almost no internet access. During that time, my headaches disappeared completely. However, as soon as I returned to work and resumed travelling to my apartment, all the symptoms quickly returned. At present, I continue to experience dizziness and frequent headaches, and I have been dealing with tachycardia throughout the autumn. I will leave you my email address in case you have any advice on what could be done to address this problem. I would be extremely grateful for any suggestions. I understand that I need to reduce my exposure to 5G, but this is quite difficult in my situation. Are there any tests that could help identify the underlying cause of this sensitivity? Thank you very much for your time and help.

The commenter describes a friend with disabling neurological and cardiac symptoms attributed to radiation…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I know someone who has had their life turned upside down from dangerous frequencies. She can no longer function as she once did due to debilitating symptoms. She suffers MANY health problems affecting her heart, nervous system, suffers seizures, blood pressure anomalies, etc, She can no longer fly or even be near an airport. Her doctor confirms it is due to exposure to radiation from EMF’s, RF’s and wireless radiation exposure. Personally, I also am affected by being in front of a phone screen, iPad, wireless devices. My nervous system goes crazy, heart palpitations, ears ringing, brain fog and much more. I can’t sleep if they are close to me and when I do, I don’t stay sleep. It feels like “restless leg syndrome”

The commenter reports cardiovascular, neurological and other symptoms around towers and dense wireless in…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello and thank you very much for soliciting feedback from the public on this topic. I'm borrowing a friend's computer to write of my experience, which has been unfortunately very troubling over the several years. I am a college graduate with a lengthy career in hospitality & customer service. As a relatively healthy individual with some chemical sensitivities, I do experience HSP (high sensory perception) and I'm deeply affected now around high powered/ high frequency microwave towers, radars, satellites and antennas. This has only recently become so problematic I must limit my time spend in city centers and in large crowds. I first began to recognize this as a critical health issue when Bluelink conjoined with an EMS tower went up adjacent to my folks house. At the start, it looked like flushing of the skin, heart racing, anxiety, cognitive impairment, tinnitus, eye problems and depression (for approx. 1 week after exposure.) Once I wore a heart rate monitor while at their place, and my resting was 120 BPM just sitting still (free of any caffeine) I also notated that my core body temp had risen by 2 degrees from 97 to 99 one evening when I had only spent 4-5 hours there. Once I made the connection it was from this installation, I began observing compounded health affects after stay overnight in densely populated areas (with hundreds or even thousands) with these instruments (mounted on rooftops of hotels) on every corner. Immediate exposure 2-12 hours would always result in heart beat irregularities, over heating/ sweating, chafing of the skin, dehydration, confusion, skin rash, watering eyes, anxiety, extreme thirst and insomnia. After 1-3 days of exposure... those symptoms expanded into eye swelling, vision changes, memory loss/ brain fog, neuralgia, reduced sight, inflamed sore gums, depression, fatigue/ malaise, restlessness and blood flow & nerve issues, mood changes and general feelings of illness. Basically the longer the exposure, the worse the symptoms.. simply put, it is cumulative. Now I must AVOID such areas where towers & antennas are packed in, and especially in DIRECT LINE of sight. That being said, as a person who loves to travel (and has always been a "city" person, this is deeply devasting as I am no longer able to put myself at risk therefore I have to be very picky and choosy now about where I spend my time and I can not just patronage these areas anymore with paying a significant price. The lingering affects of 1-5 days of continual 5G exposure often involves 1-3 weeks of recovery time for me, which I believe is due to the OXIDATIVE stress. Therefore, I strongly believe these microwave technologies are silently destroying soft tissues and cause all kinds of physical and mental illness. Especially after witnessing the RAPID deterioration of my folks, as they both appeared rather deathly and severely depressed.. their skin turned gray, and were no longer recognizable. They both got dementia at the same time and had heart * and organ problems. Additionally, they both had chronic infections. It was it clear to me based on their behavior and health, these high powered devices were slowly siphoning the life out of them and there was nothing they could do about it. Thankfully other family members were able to get them out of the house and move them after a year or two of this. One person nearly fully recovered. The other did not. I have therefore begun taking this issue VERY seriously as I can feel it's affects personally as a healthy person. However it is extremely difficult to AVOID exposure and over exposure when it is now EVERYWHERE and inundated into our daily environment. Hence, I am witnessing the impacts it has not only on humans, but also on the vegetation, trees, insects, animals and ambient heating of ground temps and local microclimates. I realize this is part of our infrastructure now, however I strongly encourage updated and rigorous regulations. In my experience LTE over 5G is safer and a better way forward for optimal human health. Additionally, I think set backs should be the gold standard for protecting all humans, especially seniors, children, nature preserves, livestock, ocean habitats, residential areas and even real estate values. Additionally, patrons of hotels and vacationers, should be able to experience rest and relaxation without harm. Or at the very minimum be able to stay in an ADA room with low emf for those with sensitivities. I could go onto explain other instances when I have been injured or affected but I think for for now, I will leave you with this.. As we continue to evolve in the future, through sustainable technology, perhaps HSP (high sensitivity perception) can be added to the ADA guidelines for safety and health requirements for building codes and hotel stays. And big tech must be held accountable to updated exposure limits for all.

The commenter alleges longstanding targeting with radiation weapons and describes skin, hair, dental, neu…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Good day. I have been targeted since birth, but became aware of my targeting/ harassment/ human trafficking in 2024 in my previous residence. I would wake up to red welts on my neck and face, an my ear was also red, inflamed and swollen. These weapons used against me are causing my face to appear much older than I am in just two years. My face has rapidly lost its elasticity. The nerves around one of my teeth are deteriorating and my gums are now very sensitive and painful and bleed often when I brush them. The radiation has caused the whole right side of my face, neck and ear to become very painful to the point that I have to take prescription pain medication. The radiation has caused thinning and brittle hair, clumps of hair falling out, sensitive scalp and bald spots. I experience tremors and brain fog, confusion and anxiety. I often wake up to blurry vision and red eyes. I also get heart palpitations and body vibrations when hit with these weapons. Thank you for allowing me to share my experiences.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Public Comment on Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Submitted to: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Docket: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 I am submitting this comment as someone who has experienced significant symptoms that I associate with electromagnetic field (EMF) and radiofrequency (RF) exposure. I have a history of concussion, and my electromagnetic sensitivity began after my concussion in 2018. My symptoms include intense head pressure, heat and burning or tingling in my head and face, ear pressure, rapid heart rate, and chest fluttering. Symptoms have occurred in environments such as airports, train and bus stations, hybrid vehicles, and anywhere where wifi is present. Traveling on highways is difficult because cell towers create symptoms while in the car. I cannot have wifi or streaming in my home, and must drive a car without updated electronic/wireless systems. Symptoms can take three to four days to subside. These experiences have affected my daily life. I recognize that my experiences alone cannot establish causation. However, I believe that people experiencing these symptoms deserve compassionate medical evaluation and rigorous scientific investigation. I respectfully ask HHS to: Fund independent research into electromagnetic hypersensitivity, including possible neurological, autonomic, and other physiological mechanisms. Investigate whether people with a history of concussion or other neurological conditions may experience different symptom patterns upon exposure. Conduct a transparent review of the scientific evidence underlying current RF exposure standards, including uncertainties and potential health effects that remain insufficiently understood. Develop clinical guidance to help healthcare professionals evaluate and treat people reporting electromagnetic sensitivity without dismissing their symptoms or assuming an unproven cause. Include affected individuals in setting research priorities and evaluating practical approaches to improving their quality of life. The cause of my symptoms remains uncertain, but their impact is real. I urge HHS to take these experiences seriously, support rigorous research, and ensure that people reporting electromagnetic sensitivity receive appropriate medical attention. Thank you for considering my comments.

Reports a father’s heart attack and personal chronic headaches following tower installations near the hou…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Date: October 17, 2026 To: Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Subject: Public Comment – Request for Information on EMF, RF, and Wireless Radiation Exposure Docket/Reference: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to submit my personal testimony and public comment regarding the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Request for Information on the human health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and wireless infrastructure. Since wireless/cellular towers were installed directly at the entrance of our private small road, our family has experienced immediate and severe health declines: * Severe Cardiac Event: Shortly after the installation of the towers, my father suffered a major, unexpected heart attack that required emergency open-heart surgery. * Debilitating Neurological Symptoms: I personally have suffered from chronic, debilitating headaches that began concurrent with the activation of these nearby towers. Before these installations, our household did not experience these acute health crises. Living in close, continuous proximity to these wireless radiation sources has severely disrupted our quality of life, safety, and well-being. Current federal safety guidelines and public health monitoring do not adequately account for real-world, long-term, or close-range cumulative exposures experienced by residents living near small-road and neighborhood installations. I urge HHS and related policymakers to: 1. Acknowledge and investigate real-world health impacts: Incorporate direct public testimony and medical histories from individuals living adjacent to wireless towers into current scientific risk assessments. 2. Re-evaluate proximity standards: Establish stricter buffer zones, setback requirements, and lower exposure limits for residential areas and private roadways. 3. Fund independent research: Prioritize independent, transparent studies looking at the cumulative biological and cardiovascular effects of non-ionizing RF/EMF exposure on vulnerable populations. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this comment and for considering the real human toll of these exposures. Sincerely, Neighborhood Resident Chaparral Rd West Hills CA 91304 rzietal@aol.com

Reports family fatigue and other symptoms occurring more often in a Wi-Fi-equipped apartment than at a ru…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Rafiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a family member and teacher. In my family, the presence of radiation manifests as chronic fatigue and a higher frequency of minor, distressing health issues—which occur much more often in our apartment, where a Wi-Fi router is located about 3 meters from the areas where we spend most of our time or rest. This contrasts with our health status at our rural home, where we have no router and use only smartphones, which receive a weaker signal (as the cell tower is 6 km away). I suspect that this radiation might be the cause of a drop in my pulse rate—from 62 beats per minute eight years ago to 54–56 today. Furthermore, at the college where I work—which is equipped with Wi-Fi routers—I observe an increased level of irritability among students (who often feel "bothered" for trivial reasons) compared to the classroom environment of 25 years ago. Otherwise, unlike students from 25 years ago, today’s students appear apathetic, their eyes lost as they follow images on their personal smartphones. As a health authority, the HHS must make decisions to ensure that Wi-Fi and telecommunications equipment operate according to new standards that genuinely take into account the health of users. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

Reports weight loss, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, elevated heart rate and neurological symptoms following n…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
.I am drowning in 5G and cannot escape it. A huge cell tower is located approximately a quarter of a mile from my home in Kill Devil Hills, NC. It was installed around 2019-20. A small cell tower is located within 2000 feet of my vacation home in Ocean City, MD which was installed in 2019-20. Many other cells are located on water towers and hidden in attics of nearby hotels within short city blocks installed around the same time. I am a 65 year old federal retiree. I was 6’4”, 220 lbs and in perfect health. In 2024 I lost over 60lbs and went to the doctor. I was diagnosed with diabetes and put on Metformin. I continued losing weight and my resting heart rate was >95 bpm at any given time. With no improvement, I went to another doctor shortly after and she informed me that I have hyperthyroidism and was given Methimazole and Propanolol. Thyroid problems are not a part of my family medical history. My health slowly deteriated after the rollout of the cell towers. Other symptoms include: tinnitus, tremors, increased blood pressure, occasional memory/ concentration loss. increased grumpyness/irritability, enlarged thyroid, sleep disruption, frequent leg and hand cramps. In summary, I believe thorough investigation into 5G electomagnetic fields must be studied since it hasn’t been studied since 1996 prior to the increase in electrogmagnetic field output and technological changes. The studies must only be performed by scientist that have no affiliation with the wireless industry or the government. I believe it is damaging on the cellular level and is dangerous to humans and animals. The bats that used to come out every evening in the summer dissappeared around the same period the cell towers were installed. If we could see the electromagnetic fields that they are emitting, I am sure they would be outlawed. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide my concern. I pray something is done.

Reports neurological and cardiac symptoms associated with home and hospital wireless exposures, describes…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In 2012 I noticed symptoms related to emf exposure. Sleeping disorders, heart palpitations, confusion, memory loss. My son, 5 years old at the time, started to act different, running around, making noise and stopped talking. Later on he got diagnosed with autism. My symptoms has now exacerbated with dizziness, headaches, breathing difficulties, muscle aches that comes and goes without any connection to activity. My house is 200 meters from a cellphone tower, I noticed it 15 years ago. I worked in a huge hospital for 20 years and was exposed to Wi-Fi and wireless computers and other equipment plus other peoples cellphones. As people complained about bad connection the hospital put up more and more Wi-Fi range extenders. I stopped working there 5 years ago, I am better but as soon as I go into the city, travel by public transport or go to a sports arena or something similar my symptoms increase and I can’t manage to do anything in the coming days. If I have cold coming on, my emf symptoms multiply tenfold.
