Lived less than .5 mile from a stacked tower for 5 years. Ended up extremely sick from a house full of mold and severe chronic lyme that worsened signficantly. Now cannot be near any towers and am extremely sensitized to emf, cannot sleep with wifi on, reduce cell phone use as much as possible. Being near towers causes headaches, dizziness, nausea, rage, tightness in chest, tense body all over. Cannot find a safe place to live because towers are all near residential buildings. Sioux falls sd has towers on nearly every single school property. I am unsure of where I can safely send my child to school. No child should be exposed to emf on their school property or at home as radiation on kids has not been studied at all. My child suffers every time we are near a tower. Please end radiation poisioning and data centers. This is not the life I choose for myself or for my child. I do not consent to poisioning of any kind, chemtrails, food, water, emf, I do not consent to any harm forced upon by the government. It must end now.
Nous sommes une association de scientifiques aidant les personnes électro-hypersensibles souffrant dans les champs électromagnétiques de micro-ondes pulsées. Parmi celles-ci, il y a des personnes qui sont de véritables détecteurs d'ondes, qui les ressentent dans les mains et dans tout le corps. Le doute n'existe plus : ces micro-ondes pulsées entrent en interférence avec la micro-électricité des corps animaux (l'homme faisant partie des animaux) et aussi des végétaux. De nombreuses personnes ont des certificats médicaux attestant les perturbations cérébrales dans ces expositions (encéphaloscans, échodoppler pulsé), et des perturbations métaboliques prouvées par des analyses de sang et d'urine. Les troupeaux de bovins, de caprins, tous les animaux souffrent dans ces expositions. Les arbres aussi car ils ne peuvent pas bouger et c'est pire pour eux. Nous avons parmi nous une personne dont l'électro-hypersensibilité a été acquise génétiquement et qui est un véritable appareil de mesures. Dès qu'il n'y a plus d'exposition aux ondes toxiques, les troubles s'arrêtent. Nous avons vu une personne âgée faire un accident cérébral dans des ondes Wifi. Une autre une crise d'épilepsie.
To HHS,
I experience symptoms such as headaches, heart racing, palpitations, irritability, and insomnia when exposed to wireless signals. I live in a shielded home with no wireless inside to help minimize exposure. I'm concerned that the United States has not adopted sufficiently precautionary policies to minimize public exposure to wireless radiation, particularly for people who report sensitivity.
Other countries have demonstrated that stronger protective measures are possible. For example, France restricts the installation and use of wireless internet equipment in certain childcare settings and requires Wi-Fi in primary school classrooms to be switched off when not used for educational activities. Some European countries have also adopted stricter radio frequency exposure limits or additional protections for sensitive locations. I believe the United States should carefully examine these international approaches and consider stronger protections for public health. Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 restricts local governments from regulating cell tower placement based on the environmental effects of compliant radio frequency emissions, and I disagree with that restriction. Communities should be able to consider health concerns when deciding where towers go.
Thank you for your consideration.

During the rollout of 5G in the town of Bedford, New Hampshire, of which I lived during December 2021, I developed tinnitus (ringing in the ear). Within 2 weeks, my husband who also lived in Bedford with me developed tinnitus. Neither of us had this issue before. To this day (October 19, 2026), we both still suffer from it.
During the autumn of 2024, the neighborhood I lived in (Bedford, New Hampshire) was the center of some of the first fiber optic installation in the state of New Hampshire. Within weeks of this rollout, I experienced poor, interrupted sleep. Some nights I would only get 3 to 4 hours. This severely disrupted sleep cycle and its damaging effects continue to this day, along with accompanying and crushing fatigue.

RE: Public Comment on Request for Information (RFI) regarding Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure (Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397)
RF/EMF Leverage Force Multipliers:
1. Burning from outside in
2. Burning from inside out
3. Surface-to-Core Thermal Latency Burn
4. Polonium and Hafnium Amplification
5. Polonium and Hafnium Signatures
6. Polonium and Hafnium Targeting
7. Pulsating wattage to avoid detection
8. Pulsating wattage for entrainment of the body-brain electrical system
9. Electrical Injury Syndrome (EIS).
10. Social isolation and sensory deprivation
11. Diagnostic Overshadowing:
This occurs when healthcare professionals attribute a patient's physical symptoms to a pre-existing or suspected mental health condition, leading to the physical injury being ignored or misdiagnosed.
12. Medical Mimicry: This is a general clinical term for a physical illness that "mimics" a psychiatric disorder. For example, brain injuries or neurological damage can cause personality changes, irritability, or confusion that look like mental illness but are actually biological.
13. Subclinical or functional injuries in general
14. Cumulative Biological Load (Allostatic Overload)
Systemic Allostatic Failure.
Neuro-Endo-Immunological (NEI) Dysregulation.
It acknowledges that the Nervous (Entrainment/FND), Endocrine (Cortisol/Diabetes), and Immune (Lyme/Bartonella/Inflammation) systems are a single, interconnected web. When one is hit by RF/EMF, all three collapse together.
15. Knowledge deficit created diagnostic gap for subclinical injuries
16. Toxicological Steganography—hiding one harm inside another.
17. Systemic Neuro-Psychological Attrition
18. Vicarious trauma to others
19. Vicarious terror to primary victim by seeing or hearing others injured or killed.
20. Inflammation of the brain and nervous system.
21. Duration – How long an unsafe RF/EMF wave contacts a victim patient is proportional to the damage or lack of damage that RF/EMF wave causes. In other words, it is not just intensity (power), frequency, but also duration of the impact penetration into the human body.
I am writing this in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.
My name is Carol Franks and I live in the UK.
I am responding as an individual who suffers debilitating symptoms with exposure to Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.
I am sure that, from all the studies and evidence gathered by independent bodies that we are all affected, but some of us are noticeably physically affected and this is very restricting on life style.
Tests that my general practitioner had carried out, for the symptoms, showed no other reason for the nose bleeds, heart-rate changes, rashes; pains about my body and head; fatigue; nausea/digestive reactions among other symptoms particularly when in the vicinity of masts or mobile phones.
The rashes especially from ankles up to knee can occur after riding on electric buses.
They can last for up to a week and I find I need to refrain from riding on electric buses or being near Wi-Fi for up to that time as I feel unwell along with the rashes.
If I ride on a longer journey on an electric bus with all the mobile phones of passengers or short journeys 2 days running I am unwell with symptoms of nausea and digestive issues the following day that cease if I remain at home without Wi-Fi.
My life has been restricted since I had to give up my job several years ago because of the debilitating symptoms working with Wi-Fi.
I am affected by all electricity, but can be on a wired computer for up to one hour without debilitating symptoms.
I can have no Wi-Fi in the house.
This, of course, has affected my husband, too, with living with me and my ability to live a normal family life with my daughter and family. She has Wi-Fi in her house and I can only stay for a short time and can’t visit her too often.
She is aware, but uses a smart phone and I need to sit away in the conservatory when I visit her, but I still get symptoms afterwards.
Two examples of experiences that were in the diary kept for my doctor are:
The first was when I was walking to visit my Father.
I was with my husband and we were chatting and walking through a hedge-lined lane about 2 miles from my home when suddenly all my energy started to drain from my body and I felt scared because I thought I was going to fall.
My husband caught me to support me.
I said to him, ‘I can’t understand it because I was feeling fine until now’.
He replied ‘There is a mast just around the corner.’
There was a z bend in the lane so this was not visible from where we were with the high hedges.
I replied, ‘I didn’t know that, show me where’
He said, ‘It is disguised as a tree.’
He continued, ‘I will help you to get past it and see if you feel better when we put some distance between us and the mast.’
We did so and as we walked further from the mast, my energy returned and I felt my strength return to finish the walk to see my father.
The second example is:
When we changed broadband providers, a new router was sent to us.
My husband spoke to the company and asked if it could be wired not Wi-Fi, explaining why.
The company assistant said it could be either and my husband said it must be wired as my wife is badly affected by Wi-Fi.
My husband set it up when it arrived, but I didn’t know as I was out at the time.
On returning, I went to use the computer.
I was only working on it for about ten minutes when I started to feel quite ill – nauseous, dizzy, foggy in the head and disorientated.
I felt frightened and anxious, so I told my husband.
I said to him that I was going into the garden to see if I felt better and I did.
I thought it could be the weather as I always felt slightly unwell before a storm, but this was much worse.
I came back to my computer to carry on working, but this time I was only on it for a few minutes before the awful symptoms returned.
I said to my husband that it must be something in the room.
I indicated that I was going for a shower to see if that helped me.
While I was in the shower, my husband called to me at the door saying that he thought he knew what the problem was – the new router.
He said he had looked into it and he needed to go on to the Internet to de-activate the Wi-Fi.
He said he would do that and when I came out of the shower, I could see if it was better.
I went back to my computer again and I was on it for an hour and I was fine.
I ask HHS to carefully evaluate experiences of people like me and the scientific evidence; identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to the young and other potentially vulnerable people.
Please establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.
Thank you for reading my response.

I am writing as a private citizen to share my experience with radiofrequency radiation (RF), electromagnetic fields (EMFs), and wireless radiation exposure, and to urge the Department to give serious weight to the lived reality of individuals who develop adverse symptoms in response to ubiquitous wireless infrastructure.
For approximately twenty years, I have struggled with nervous system issues, including pain and an irritated/activated nervous system, as well as chronic insomnia. I came to believe—based on careful observation of my symptoms in relation to my environment—that these issues were caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields.
Since the roll-out of 5G infrastructure in my area, my condition has deteriorated significantly. I constantly feel agitated and emotional and my nervous system feels extremely heightened, activated and painful. The symptoms have become severe enough that I can no longer tolerate living in an urban environment, and I am currently attempting to relocate to a rural area with lower RF and EMF levels and more natural shielding. The practical and emotional toll of this displacement has been profound: I feel isolated, stressed, and increasingly depressed, and I am genuinely uncertain about my ability to cope if exposure levels continue to rise.
I recognize that the scientific literature on RF and EMF exposure and health is complex, and that regulatory bodies have often concluded that exposures below thermal thresholds pose no established risk. However, I believe that the evidentiary picture is not as settled as it is sometimes portrayed and needs to be reassessed, especially considering that there are plans to continue increasing the number of towers and upgrading the technology. I respectfully urge the Department to implement a moratorium on the deployment of further wireless technology, to fund independent long-term research that measures real-world multi-source exposure, to formally review whether current thermal-based limits adequately account for long-term low-level exposure, to support clinical guidance for healthcare professionals encountering patients who attribute symptoms to RF and EMF exposure, and to communicate publicly with appropriate humility about the genuine uncertainties that remain—because for those of us living with these symptoms, the cost of being dismissed is not abstract but is measured in lost homes, lost health, and lost connection to the world around us. Moreover, with the continued expansion of wireless infrastructure, concerns about broader public health outcomes—including reported increases in cancer rates—demand that this issue be treated with the urgency and rigor it deserves.
Thank you for considering these views. This is a very serious issue, and there should have been more public consultation in the first place about whether or not we actually want this technology to be deployed.
