A teacher reports extreme EMF sensitivity during breast-cancer recovery, symptoms in wireless-equipped cl…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have had complications from EMF since 2021 when I contracted COVID and this resulted in Long COVID symptoms that continue to plague me to today. I am a 30 year teacher and since the onset of technology being pushed in every school, I have had symptoms of erratic heartbeat, anxiety, depression, muscle tightness, inability to sleep at night. I see chronically in my students the same symptoms including eye pain and headaches. In 2019 my classroom included my laptop, a smart TV, Chromebooks that are one to one with students and even my very own router placed above my classroom door. In 2026, I found a lump in my left breast and am being treated for breast cancer. However, I have EMf Ultrasensitivity that is complicating my recovery. My breast works as an internal "antenna" for EMF. Smartphones and Laptops and especially my router are the worst offenders! I have a large burn mark all over my left breast. The skin is like cooked and microwaved meat. My cells are weak in my breast and cannot fend off the EMF waves. The skin is burned. I cannot handle being in the overwhelming environment at school with all the wireless technology and routers and fluorescent lights. The lights also trigger my untrasensitivity. My day at school creates an electric shock or zing that feels and it does burn my skin and breast. My breast is hard and my muscles around my breast and to my back become tight and ache unbearably by the end of the day. I cannot attend large gatherings or social functions where there are security camera, checkout lanes, routers, cell phones or computers of any kinds. It is difficult to go to grocery stores or do any other shopping. Walmart is the worst. School is one of the most polluted environments for me in my life currently. I will be retiring in May of 2027 due to the toxic radiation from EMF and how it is literally cooking me and killing me. At home, I have my laptop landline wired and my phone is also landline enabled. We turn our wifi off at night. My smartmeter on my house literally traps me indoors and on bad days, I feel it through the house wall. At school, my laptop is ethernet wired and my smart TV and router are unplugged. However, when the teacher next door has her students on their Chromebooks, it fries me in my classroom as it goes through the walls. I have no safe place in my public school. I worry what this is doing to all the young people's brains and health in a very very toxic school environment. If I could have a clean environment from EMF or at least little to none, I would be farther along on my cancer recovery journey if not already at full health. There is not a doubt in my mind whatsoever, as I am LIVING this, that EMF is very very dangerous to humans. This dangerous EMF is literally killing me. Please turn off and/or regulate 5g,4g,3g, etc and low EMF waves in our country and the world.

Reports severe mobile-phone sensitivity with pain, migraines, arrhythmia and cognitive problems, describe…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am responding as: an individual. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…): mobile phones Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years): Almost every single day, a few hours of duration, once or twice a day, since 20012. Adverse health effect(s) experienced: Fatigue (some times extreme fatigue), pain, migraines, decreased body temperature, heart arrhythmia, cognitive problems (mainly in concentration and short term memory), irritability, non-restorative sleep. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects: It is difficult to know, since I have been sick for a few years, with the symptoms I mentioned above, until a change of my usual home in 2012, in the mountains, where the radiation was very low, made me realize that I was reacting to the radiation of the mobile phone, and then I began to realize that this radiation made me sick. When you live surrounded by artificial radiation, as it happens today, it is difficult to perceive that this radiation is what makes you sick. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis? Yes, although today the main recommendation is to avoid as much as possible exposures. Other palliative recommendations were provided by physicians, mainly to increase antioxidant intake. Yes, I was diagnosed by four different physicians. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects? Yes, the main step has been to get to live in a place where artificial radiation is very low, so that exposure only occurs when there are neighbors nearby. Nevertheless, I had to shield part of the house, since from one year to the next, radiation increases everywhere. Of course there were changes in the effects, in fact, If I hadn't been able to find a suitable house and shield a part of the house, I don't know if I would still be alive, because my sensitivity is very high. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information: There are thousands of scientific publications that conclude that radiation from cell phones, antennas, wi-fi, etc. is harmful to health at intensity levels below the currently recommended limits, and more studies are published every year. I personally react at levels of 1 uW/m2, if exposed more than 30 min., or immediately at levels of 10 uW/m2 or more. Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's: Yes, it is important to note that, as I explained above, it is not easy to realize that wireless radiation is affecting you, unless you have the opportunity to live a few days in a place were such radiation is very low. Some effects take some time to appear from exposure, although they can last for several days. The impact on life, in all areas, is enormous, it is devastating.

Reports sensitivity to wireless and household electrical sources, distress from an ultrasonic deterrent a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
HI there! I saw Bobbie on the news requesting information from the public and I thought you’ll ought to know my experience. So I’m in par with what a lot of things he’s been coming out with like vaccines, food, and now this. To begin with, I was born a healthy baby until I received my first vaccine. I had 104F fever that night. Luckily I’ve never been diagnosed autistic but after that, I became a pretty sick kid. I often got sick growing up and still suffer from lots of allergies, anxiety, and depression. I know this isn’t about that but I think it’s important that you know my background since I believe it’s precisely why I’m so sensitive to EMF, RF, and Wireless Radiation. I’m just glad to not feel like I’m crazy for admitting it. People thought I was literally crazy, even though I think I am at least a little. But I know what I’m talking about when I say that I was losing my mind over a neighbor’s ultrasonic pigeon deterrent, it literally almost drove me to insanity! Anyway, EMF radiation is much friendlier than that but it’s still exhausting with its dullness. Unless of course you’re sick and/or have a head congestion, then it’s almost unbearable the closer you get to it. In my case it was an outlet on a night with a pretty bad congestion, right where I rested my head. It was so unbearable that I had to turn off the breaker. Once I did so I realized how much it was affecting me, I was able to sleep much better and felt as if my body wasn’t in fight or flight mode anymore. That’s what it kind of feels like. As if your nervous system is activated in full mode. It’s exhausting, sometimes unbearable, and feels like you need to get away or make it stop somehow. I literally took a neighbor to court over his ultrasonic pigeon deterrent to have it removed from his balcony and just kept that breaker off in my bedroom. But I also haven’t updated my phone because I hate 5G, I don’t even want to know about 6G. I own a Galaxy S23 and happily keep it on 4G. Only when it’s absolutely necessary will I change it to 5G. But as soon as a call comes in, I feel the current almost like getting zapped with electricity but way much less intense. But sometimes I can feel 5G even before a call comes in. It’s very similar to bluetooth actually, I keep that off as well. But when I get too close to one of those 5G towers, it’s almost as unbearable as the ultrasonic pigeon deterrent. And even if I’m close enough to see it, I feel it. Maybe more like a dull wave of EMF. Wifi is not bad but RF, believe it or not, my body tends to absorb both of those frequencies. I don’t know how better to describe it but the times I’ve been close to the towers, I tend to feel like I’m being charged but not in a good way. And when I get in between a tower or modem and radio or device, my body causes quite a bit of disturbance in the frequency or signal. But at least I’m not crazy right? Or am I? I don’t know exactly what’s wrong with me. I know I was born just fine cause my mom said so. But hearing these things that Bobbie’s saying is making me love him more and more. He’s actually been helping me realize that I’m not only not crazy, but that all my problems are due to all these agitators in the industry. Thanks to Bobby and President Trump, vaccines, food, and now all these forms of radiation are under the microscope and I’d love to be of assistance in any way. Thanks for finally doing something about it for the greater good of the citizens. I am currently working on my allergies and mental disorders through gut health. I’ve been able to make some improvements with it but I’m not quite there yet. Gut health is a fairly new theme but I have faith that a lot more is going to be known about bacteria using AI. I hope Bobby is already pursuing that, it’s medicine’s next frontier and I hope the USA will lead it. I have faith and thank God for Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy and quite honestly, all his administration for everything you’ll are doing, thank you’ll from the bottom of my heart for showing how much you’ll care about your citizens! God Bless you’ll and the USA!

Describes EMF sensitivity alongside vestibular disorders, difficulty walking, thinking and driving around…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am someone who has become sensitive to EMFs due to medical conditions. I have Meniere’s disease, suspected third window syndrome, and vestibular migraines. I experience negative reactions to Wi-Fi and cell phones. When I am in an area with Wi-Fi, I feel unsteady and it almost feels like being drunk without the high. It takes a lot of concentration just to walk a straight line. It impacts my ability to think clearly and drive safely. I have also experienced migraines triggered by cell phone EMFs. I have found it necessary to purchase an EMF meter and avoid EMFs as much as possible My home is now free of EMFs, no Wi-Fi and cell phones are kept off. We live in the country and intentionally bought property with no close neighbors. When I leave my home, I wear a head covering made from EMF shielding fabric. If I must use a cell phone, (which is rare) I make sure my head is covered and protected from EMFs. The EMF shielding fabric only provides so much protection. I still get tinnitus and I find it very fatiguing to leave my home. I will often need to rest a day or two after a trip to town. EMFs are a stress on the body, and I believe due to my vestibular disorders I am affected by the signals more than most people. That said, I do worry about how EMFs may be impacting other people without them even knowing it. People that live in the city are continuously exposed to EMFs. You have to get away from it to realize if it’s a trigger.

Reports five years of EMR syndrome with headaches, tinnitus, fatigue and cognitive symptoms around wirele…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a patient. I have EMR Syndrome for 5 years now, it is very hard. I have headache, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, brain fog, etc when somebody uses a wireless device or when I'm near from a cell tower. I have to wear special clothes to shield, but it is not enough. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

Reports sensitivity near power infrastructure, computers and wireless equipment in healthcare workplaces,…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been moderately sensitive to EMFs and RF for many years. I first became conscious of this on moving out of my parents' house which was situated near a 275KV electric pylon. I moved six miles away but on returning at the weekends etc., I noticed an unhealthy influence in their house. Later, in the 2000s, I noticed feeling ill when using computers. Later, while working as a healthcare assistant in hospitals and nursing homes, I started to notice feeling unwell when near to WiFi modem/routers and DECT telephones. I am involved in public understanding of science work, including presenting talks and workshops about radio technology and associated health effects. The problem of sensitivity to these influences is much greater than most people recognise. However, when one starts to directly ask people if they are affected, many do recount their own stories of health problems. In my educational work in the U.K. and Ireland, I notice a distinct unwillingness for educational and health authorities to attempt to educate the public about reducing exposure to radio frequency radiation. The attitude appears to be that any such education would indicate an admission from those authorities that there are real health problems involved. The situation as it stands is that the levels of radiation keep on rising, with none of the authorities taking any responsibility to moderate behaviours. With kind regards Malin Starrett

Reports debilitating electro-hypersensitivity and urges governments to examine research and strengthen No…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I suffer from severe electro-hyper sensitivity and it has been debilitating. There is plenty of studies indicating that wireless radiation is detrimental to human health. Governments just have to be willing to look for it. North American safety standards for wireless radiation are way less stringent than Europe and around the world.

Reports EHS beginning after a nearby antenna installation in Italy, improvement away from exposure and pr…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Subject: Public complaint about electrosmog in Italy and personal testimony on electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) I am writing to denounce the abandonment of Italian citizens in the face of exposure to electromagnetic fields and the lack of protection for people suffering from symptoms attributed to electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). In April 2024, national exposure limits were raised from 6 to 15 V/m. There are also no uniform minimum safety distances from homes, schools, and sensitive sites. I call for greater public attention, transparency, and precautionary measures to protect health. My story began in July 2024, one month after a mobile phone antenna was installed directly in front of my home. Other installations are located about 250 metres from my home and 200 metres from my workplace, where I have worked for 18 years. I began experiencing severe pain in my left epididymis and big toes. For months, my nails stopped growing. Medical examinations and treatments did not resolve the problems. Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory treatments only made my symptoms worse. I also noticed a strong stinging sensation in my face whenever I approached my mobile phone. That was when I understood the link between my symptoms and the new antenna. When I tried to explain my suspicions and the scientific evidence I had found to doctors, my concerns were met with scepticism and ridicule. In desperation, I contacted the Italian Electrosensitive Association, which gave me guidance on investigating the situation. My home was already partly protected: during renovations in 2012, I removed all wireless devices and fully wired my internet network and alarm system. To see whether leaving my usual environment might help, I spent several days in an isolated country house in the hills, keeping my mobile phone switched off. My symptoms eased and disappeared; within two days of returning home, they came back. This experience strengthened my conviction that the possible environmental causes of my symptoms needed to be investigated more seriously. By late 2024, convinced that the new antenna in front of my home was responsible for the onset of my electromagnetic hypersensitivity, I was forced to leave my apartment and move into a small ground-floor flat in an attempt to reduce my exposure. In 2026, the antenna was upgraded to accommodate two operators. Despite environmental shielding and protective clothing, I continue to feel unwell, even at field levels I measure below 0.1 V/m. My workplace is also a source of distress because of Wi-Fi devices, wireless equipment, and a nearby antenna. I currently suffer from chronic pain, including pain in my left epididymis, severe insomnia, tinnitus, difficulties with concentration and speech, night-time cramps, photophobia, episodes of migraine, nausea, and dizziness. I also experience debilitating fatigue, intestinal problems, food intolerances, and significant weight loss. I am paying for numerous medical tests myself in an attempt to find answers and treatment. This condition has profoundly affected my life. I am a divorced father of two young children and can no longer share many everyday activities, holidays, school events, or sports events with them. I have had to give up my social life and many essential activities. The only place where I have experienced a marked improvement is the country house in the hills, far from sources of electrosmog, but moving there permanently is incompatible with my family responsibilities and work commitments. I asked the local council to halt new installations, adopt a municipal antenna plan, and prevent further expansion in areas that are already saturated, but my efforts have not achieved the desired results. For all these reasons, this is not merely a testimony of suffering but a firm call for legislative action. It is essential and urgent that the authorities introduce concrete laws to protect public health: national emission limits must be drastically lowered, well below current levels, and strict, non-negotiable minimum safety distances must be established from residential areas, schools, and sensitive sites. It is also essential to encourage and promote wired connections in public and private spaces, guaranteeing every citizen the fundamental right to live and work in safe environments that are protected and free from electromagnetic impacts. Finally, public healthcare must urgently provide appropriate scientific and medical training so that healthcare professionals are prepared to take people experiencing these complex problems seriously, putting an end to an unacceptable culture of ridicule and scepticism. We cannot continue sacrificing people's health at the altar of technological profit, leaving people with EHS invisible and without rights.

Proposes magnetoreception as an explanation for electromagnetic sensitivity, requests research and medica…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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. There must be a proper scientific explanation to my symptoms. I have other theories also than magnetoreception. Reseachers should find the truth and explanations. I have symptoms: pains that come and go, pain in everywhere : ears, fingers, legs, teeth, tongue. Skin burning. I can't hear properly when I am exposed to 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 spring. It feels all of a suddend that air is really cold eventhough I know it's completely normal. Wireless radiation feels like the air is polluted and dangerous. Please do something to wifi and base town radiation. No wireless sensors, no wireless meters for water consuption monitoring and so on. I deserve to live a normal life but I live inside nightmare.
