Are You Allergic To Wi-Fi?

Firstenberg is one of a small group of people who believe they have Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), a condition in which they are highly sensitive to electromagnetic fields and experience pain or other symptoms when they encounter them.

People with electromagnetic hypersensitivity claim to experience a variety of non-specific symptoms, including headache, fatigue, nausea, burning and itchy skin, and muscle aches. These symptoms are subjective and vary between individuals, which makes the condition difficult to study.

Like peanuts, if just one person is allergic, then it should be banned in schools, office places, coffee shops.

then, like smoking, we can eliminate all wi-fi in public areas.

then, we can take it one step further and start banning wi-fi in homes that have kids.

Slippery slope? It happens all the time.

If you can read this, you are being exposed to electromagnetic waves. It's called "light".

There are pendants on the market that one could wear to neutralize the radiations that comes off of Wi-fi .
since my son with autism is sensitive, like the group above, he now has a pendant.

All the schools are turning to Wi-fi people.

and there have been questions if the bee population is diminishing due to wi-fi.

Did your pendant come with a tin foil hat or was that extra?

Stay tuned and do not worry! Next week Pfizer will saturate prime television with ads for a little pill that can take care of this troubling new condition. Of course, side effects may include: nausea, bleeding cavities, general paranoia, and a propensity to spend too much time on your computer.

Probably psychosomatic in origin.
