Wi-Fi & indoor exposure

Our story began when we moved into our "new" 100 year old home, when the Cox internet installer asked where he should install the router. My desk was in my bedroom, so I asked him to install it there... 5 feet away from where I sleep. Then came the smart meter. I began having health problems, but nothing compared to my daughter and son. With a connective tissue disorder, we are considered "sensitives" or "canaries." My daughter spent 8 years sick and mostly bedridden her freshman year. GI problems, neurology problems, chronic pain and migraines, insomnia, nausea, dizziness... On top of what we dealt with in our home, the cell towers, the "free wifi" everywhere, and devices in theirs and everyone else's pockets created a never ending escape from assault. We didn't know what it was at first. Specialists and doctors aren't aware of EMFs, so they weren't much help. Then a picture of "Radiowave Illness" came across my facebook feed and it was every symptom my daughter experienced. I thought I had dealt with all the EMFs, until I used a dirty electricity meter and realized there is a wiring issue in our house creating really bad dirty electricity. I could not find an electrician that even knew what dirty electricity was- how were they supposed to fix it? The dangers in radiowaves have been suppressed and ignored to the point that the industries creating them have no clue what they are doing or the harm they are creating by their ignorance.

September 30, 2026 I am submitting this response as an individual reporting my firsthand experience with wireless/RF exposure and changes in my health and functioning that I have observed over many years. For most of my life I was healthy. I went to college and graduate school, had part-time jobs, and then taught high school in Texas from 2012-2017. And then I got sick. There had been some warning signs, including migraine (starting 2014) and fatigue, but the illness became so severe and seemed to come out of nowhere in 2015. I saw 52 doctors over two years. None could determine what was happening or offer an explanation for the severity of my symptoms, and the primary treatment offered was various pharmaceuticals. Looking back, I see that several environmental exposures were occurring at the same time. I was working in a school where our classrooms were under a gym. A coworker across the hall had visible mold in his room. The spring before I became severely ill (2015), the Wi-Fi router in the building was upgraded and placed directly outside my room. The building I moved into to live had more than 50 floors and antennas on the roof, and was across the street from a hospital with its own antennas. Hundreds of people lived in the building, with their own routers, cell phones, and other wireless devices. I cannot determine which exposures contributed to my illness, or to what degree. However, over the years I began noticing a consistent relationship between reducing my wireless exposure and changes in specific symptoms. For example, health professionals have informed me that mycotoxins (which I have high levels of) are increased by EMF exposure, and that heavy metals in the body (which I have high levels of) are made worse by EMF exposure. This is an additional concern that other health concerns are made worse by EMFs. When I was staying with friends while trying to find suitable housing (2017-2020), I asked them to turn off the Wi-Fi router at night. I noticed a significant improvement in my sleep. I also told my cardiologist about my observations when I was undergoing a Holter monitor evaluation for heart palpitations. I had noticed that the palpitations were worse when the Wi-Fi was operating. I subsequently began reducing my wireless exposure wherever possible. I use wired Ethernet connections for my computer and phone, keep devices in airplane mode when possible, and not using Bluetooth devices. My overall health remains poor, but I continue to notice exacerbation of my symptoms with increased wireless exposure. I can often tell without looking at my phone whether it is transmitting or in airplane mode because I experience an intense frontal headache when it is transmitting. I have also experienced a significant change associated with the cell tower nearest my home. When the tower underwent an upgrade (2026), I experienced a substantial increase in headaches, migraines, head pressure, fatigue, and brain fog. These symptoms have affected my ability to function in daily life. I am currently exploring ways to reduce my exposure while sleeping, but remain exposed during most of the day. My experience has left me concerned about the cumulative and largely unavoidable nature of wireless exposure in modern life. I live in a rural area and have deliberately reduced wireless technology in my home, yet I cannot eliminate exposure because of nearby infrastructure and wireless signals in the surrounding environment. I feel like the canary in the coal mine: someone who experiences significant effects that may be associated with exposure levels that most people encounter without apparent difficulty. I do not claim to know what mechanism explains my experience or what conclusions should be drawn from it. I am asking that experiences such as mine be taken seriously as information worthy of investigation. I believe research should examine not only exposure levels under controlled conditions, but also real-world cumulative exposure, changes in exposure over time, individual variability in response, vulnerable populations, and what happens when individuals reduce their exposure. People should also have meaningful information about the wireless infrastructure and sources of RF exposure in and around their homes, workplaces, schools, and communities.

As a MAHA grandma and in my research during the pandemic, this seems to be a huge topic (among the many). I have a niece who died in her early 40's, shortly after giving birth, from rapidly growing ovarian cancer. This was over 10 years ago. Her husband is convinced it was caused by her laptop, which she had on her lap constantly. I attended lectures with CeCe Doucette, who runs Massachusetts for Safe Technology. Her guests were hugely injured by this EMF exposure. A friend of mine is totally disabled because of it. Pat Abrami was a Republican legislator who brought this issue to the New Hampshire house in regards to the dangers of 5G. In my life, I have two little grandchildren. I am deeply concerned for them, as their parents both work from home and are on wifi A LOT. For me, while this may not be directly related to wifi, it may be screens. I am on them probably three hours per day, since Covid. I have developed cataracts. I understand that many younger people are developing this problem as well. There is so much to be studied here...the eyes, the brain, the nervous system, internal organs.

2.I am writing as an individual. 3. a. I am affected by mobile phones, ear pods, wifi, bluetooth and wireless technology infrastructure. b. I avoid exposure to wireless tech wherever possible but this is increasingly impossible, apart from in my own home or in nature, away from towns and cities. c. i experience pressure headaches, a hotness around the ear, agitation and insomnia. I also have chemical sensitivity which appears to be a symptom of electro sensitivity. The fact that I seem to react badly to conventional medicines means i have to avoid them and pay form naturopathic treatments which are expensive. The thought of the exposure i would experience if i had to be in hospital for any length of time is depressing. d. onset of symptoms is immediate and fades as i move away. I use barefoot grounding to help with this. e. I have spoken to my doctors about this but they are completely unaware of the issue and have not even bothered to update the information i have given them to my notes. f. I have spent money on devices that say they help but the only thing that works is avoidance, now almost impossible.

In 1999 I got a sereous Electro Hyper sensibilty, It became a chock. I did´nt know anything about it. Thank God that I become knowing others that had the same problems. We met and discuss a lot of things, how to get well and so on. I have had a lot of symptoms, from EMF and radiation fråm wireless networks and from celltowers etc. I had overtiredness, headache, brainfog, concentrationissues, memoryloss, increased stress, dizziness, aches in the body, arms and legs, depression, irritation of that many did´nt understand my symptoms ex on my work, frustration of not knowing how to get well. It has been a long and hard way to get better, I still react on some magnetic fields and wireless radiation. I have try to live away from the worst radiation and have no wireless in my home. Try to get away from celltower radiation but it is hard, becauce in Sweden we have a lot of them. Please take peoples symptoms for real and decrease use of wireless networks and magnetic fields, because it can in long time even cause cancer.

The FCC's human exposure limits have not been updated since 1996 when people were using flip phones and many people like me didn't even have a cell phone yet. Cell phones today are like giant computers packed into a tiny powerful handheld devices and we have 5G cell towers, Smart meters, Smart appliances, watches and wearables, Ipods, etc This situation alone should be enough for HHS to dig into the decades of research on biological harm going all the way back to the 1970s from our own US military. We have never had an agency with any type of health expertise regulating this industry, Here is my story: In 2017, I was acutely injured by a Smart meter that was attached to my home without my knowledge or consent. One day I was a perfectly normal healthy person, and the next day I had all these strange and serious symptoms like headaches, dizziness, heart palpitations, inability to sleep, constant fatigue, increased gut and joint pain, terrible tinnitus, and overwhelming anxiety for no reason at all. I felt like I was being physically and mentally tortured whenever I was in my own house. The acute symptoms subsided when I was able to opt-out and get the Smart meter removed from my home, but the chronic symptoms persist to this day and I deal with most of these (tinnitus, dizziness, terrible fatigue, poor sleep, daily gut and joint pain, and high blood sugar readings despite daily exercise and my low carb, low sugar Paleo diet) every day and they increased even more when the highspeed fiberoptics were laid under the streets and the 5G cell towers erected above ground in my neighborhood during Covid. I have 185 cell towers and antennas within a 3 mile radius of my home and surrounded on all sides in my neighborhood by close range 4G/5G cell towers 1/3 mile away from my house. Even though I had my Smart meter removed when I was injured in 2017, the Smart meters on all my neighbor's homes on the 1/4 acre lots surrounding me are all emitting pulsing radiation 24/7. Even though I am hardwired through my cable lines and connections and the ethernet cords and adaptors throughout my house, I am still exposed to all the wireless radiation coming from my neighbor's Wi-Fi routers. Even though I had an electrician install three switches connected to my electric box so I could turn off all the electricity to my bedroom at night, I am still being adversely affected by the EMFs coming from the high voltage power lines going right through the center of my village two blocks from my house. You see because of the ubiquitous nature of wireless radiation today, I am being forced to live in a toxic soup of microwave radiation 24/7 that is causing oxidative stress to every cell of my body and causing all kinds of harmful health effects that destroy my quality of life, increase my risk of cancer, and reduce my life expectancy. These are all involuntary exposures with NO informed consent for me or my family members who are also being adversely affected even though they don't feel the harm like I do. In addition, every time I go into public places like my schools, my church, retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters, my local coffee shop, and especially airports when I have to fly, I am being blasted by both public WiFi and cell phone radiation coming from all the people scrolling and searching on their cell phones all around me (not to mention all the cell towers surrounding the buildings).. It's very hard for me to even stand in line at the store these days with people on either side of me and how powerful the new cell phones are. I am urging you to please consider the ubiquitous nature of all of these sources of wireless radiation (cell towers, Smart meters, cell phones, WiFi routers, Smart TVs and appliances, watches and wearables, Air pods and Smart devices, electric vehicles and charging stations, solar panels, and now monstrous AI Data Centers) and how they are exposing us to a toxic soup of microwave radiation 24/7 that we can't escape from anywhere anymore. Please use my personal experience and the thousands more you will receive along with the 10,000 pages of scientific studies of evidence of biological harm to humans and the environment to update the FCC's RF radiation exposure limits. This is the biggest environmental toxin we are facing in America right now and contributes to all of the chronic diseases that are destroying our children and bankrupting our nation (diabetes and obesity, infertility, dementia and Alzheimers, Autoimmune disease, Autism Allergies and ADD, Cancer). This is also national security threat and must be halted until new, real safety controls and updated human and environmental exposure limits are enacted and put in place. Thank you for urgent attention and action on this long overdue threat to American health, happiness, and liberty. I'm grateful RFK Jr is in charge of Health for all Americans and all our children because I know he cares and things are finally going to change!!

Hello! I am sharing my story regarding the potential health effects of EMFs. My daughter was born in 2014 with a finger deformity — her thumb was split into two malformed parts, meaning she had six fingers on her left hand. At home, I kept the Wi-Fi router under the computer desk next to the sofa, and my usual spot was on the sofa right beside the router. I wasn't aware of the harmful effects of EMFs back then, but looking back now, I am quite certain that this was the cause of the deformity because I often sat right there on the sofa next to the router, reading books or watching TV. Otherwise, my daughter is a healthy and capable child; she plays sports and does well in school. I am also sharing a photo of her hand. In my opinion, there are far more malformation of digits among younger generations than there used to be. I have seen deformed fingers on several acquaintances. Personally, it seems to me that the incidence of these deformities has risen significantly, as they are increasingly visible in public settings, such as playgrounds, shops, and kindergartens.

I am an individual consumer who started experiencing debilitating symptoms after the installation of a phone tower at about 250 meters from my home in 2021. Early symptoms (2021) were brain fog, tinnitus, thyroid inflammation, extremely low blood pressure, instability, (2022) episodes of severe vertigo, sleep disturbances, visual disturbances, fatigue, memory loss, mental exhaustion. (3) With time and observation I have been able to pair tinnitus, head buzz, visual disturbances and imbalance to the phone tower proximity. Now, if I leave the house for a few days or more the head buzz, vertigo and instability go away, and the other symptoms ameliorate as well. As soon as I come back symptoms worsen. GPS technology from the water smart meter was causing me vertigo and dizziness when I was close to it. After it was removed I didn't have any more episodes of that kind. Bluetooth signal inside a car affects me the same way: extreme vertigo, dizziness, and also nervousness and irritability. Once the signal is deactivated the symptoms go away. Near light bulbs or other sources of strong EMI I experience severe dizziness; I can’t tolerate noise or lights—not even the vibration created by my own voice—and I have to lie down in a dark silent room for at least an hour for the symptoms to subside partially. Near electrical sources I experience more severe tinnitus and sudden momentary hearing loss, and instability. Near Wi-Fi and cordless phones (less than 10 meters): tightness in the head and pain in the forehead, agitation and inability to concentrate, tightness in the eyes and neck. Smart watches in the proximity cause me extreme low blood pressure, vision disturbances, agitation, headache, I have to lie down to avoid fainting. Around electricity higher than 100 V/m or wifi: shakiness, tremors, uncontrollable nervousness, anxiety. For more than a year I was not able to use or even look at my smart phone. If I was on a phone call I would feel a strong buzz in my head. Looking at the screen would make me dizzy. If there’s a phone tower at less then 300 meters, Wi-Fi or electricity exceeding 10 V/m, I cannot fall asleep. Before I understood that my problem was an EMF injury, I was always tired, always sleepy; I struggled to open my eyes in the morning and keep them open throughout the day. My brain felt like it was on fire; it could never “shut down.” When using a laptop or smart phone I had trouble reading screens, at the beginning I even had trouble reading paper, I had difficulty seeing in general. My vision was blurry, and I had trouble understanding what was written. I experienced weight loss as I was too tired to eat. I was often bed ridden. I saw improvements after I started avoiding phones and computers and used a dirty electricity filter. It took me more than a year to start using my phone again for a few seconds at a time. Phone radiation would make me dizzy and make tinnitus louder. Now, almost 3 years after the onset of the symptoms, I always keep my phone on airplane mode with all the antennas turned off. I can only use it for a few minutes at a time, or I get dizzy and experience stronger tinnitus and momentary hearing loss. The proximity of the phone and radio towers still affect me greatly with constant tinnitus, hearing disturbances, fatigue, cognitive issues, sleep disturbances, blood pressure, occasional vertigo and disequilibrium and thyroid issues. At the beginning I experienced severe cognitive decline and memory loss, to the point of being unable to even think about cooking or do any complex activity that involved thinking. Now it is better, but I am not like myself anymore. I experienced and still experience fatigue and weakness and tinnitus as I live close to two phone towers that were installed in the last 4 years, and radio antennas. Medical evaluations were always inconclusive. No doctor had the ability or knowledge or tools to assess my condition, although neurologists reported that my symptoms are increasingly common. (5) Building Biology exposure limits guidelines and people adverse experiences should be taken into consideration when evaluating safety standards. (9) Exposure related information should always and clearly be exposed to consumers, residents, workers, schools,  Healthcare Providers and local governments regarding any type of radiation that people might be exposed to through products, devices, technology, infrastructures etc. This should be done consistently through mass media, and education. (11) Any and all population should be informed and protected against exposure risks and everybody should have a right to be healthy and avoid radiation especially if sensitive. Citizens should have the ability to easily and effectively oppose the installation of smart meters, and phone and radio towers in the proximity of their homes, work places, schools and hospitals.

I am extremely sensitive to Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and wireless radiation. I can't do Facetime on an my I-Phone, because it feels like my face is burning. I can't talk to someone on the I-Phone for very long, because I can feel the radiation. It is very uncomfortable, even when the phone is 3 feet away. I don't even have one of the newer, bigger I-Phones, because I fear it might be stronger. My husband is not sensitive to these energies, but is very understanding, and let's me pull out the router before bed every night so that we are not bathing in WiFi. We were not able to get solar for our house, because of the EMFs/energy they emit. A couple of years ago, our town of Great Barrington, MA was threatened by the telecom companies. They wanted to put 5G small cell towers into our town (every 500 ft or something like that), even in front of schools where children are the most vulnerable. Please help us (all of us) prevent anything like that ever happening. Thank you for listening! Lori Deutsch

I had a mouth full of mercury fillings leaching into my bloodstream and high levels of metals including mercury aluminium and silver - I experience static sensations and charges being built up often, I have had to adjust how I live massively as I am detoxing heavy metals but live so close to these towers - I turn my WiFi off completely and used wire connections my garden looks over a massive pylon of 25 or so wires and then just beyond the pylon on top the hill is a massive 5g station hidden in the trees at the highest point of the field out of sight of everyone there are more 5g posts dotted around my area - I am in so much pain an discomfort every day and I know these things affect my peaceful living . I live Cf398bs and I walk this area often to find unusual things
