I was experiencing anxiety at a level I had never had previously, for a season. Providentially. I discovered the router firmware update and shut it down. And since then have not experienced the anxiety since. I have since been aware of my EMF vulnerabilities.\n\nI 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.\n\nThank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0167","tags":["child-development","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"4120ed198e54dc076c86a6a181f5d94349f7d9edbe298bf97f601e513a05201b","slug":"child-development-comment-0167","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0167","body_sha256":"4c0e1dadb08c95f628ce36fe0a3243e2503c6fc9f084dc12d2e1f224238270c1","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"wifi","topics":[{"id":"wifi","evidence":"nced adverse wireless radiation exposure.
