The kids and I wear silver underwear everyday. \n\nOur family lives near a cell phone tower in Germany and my children (now early teens) have experienced many symptoms in the last years - trouble sleeping (especially since Smart Meters were introduced in all buildings here!!!), persistent headaches in one child, and neck problems. Eye strain in our younger child is common. \n\nTo mitigate some of these constant issues - and yes, I am trying to move us to a new house! - I have invested in EMF protecting bedsheets, a router that automatically turns off when devices are off, screen-flicker blocking glasses... we do what we can to turn off all devices at night, but neighbours do NOT. Our symptoms have improved somewhat - especially the bedsheets help with sleep.\n\nIt's been financially costly to support our bodies to cope with this much radiation stress, and I do not use a smartphone due to my sensitivity. \n\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0403","tags":["child-development","health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"273c20469c57329188a8fd40395b524fd24edeeb156583e5b4a2304261cdfad7","slug":"child-development-comment-0403","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0403","body_sha256":"f1e966cc3f62153178994ccb3925d8ae9dc2303bd8422384d44601ae7dfbd604","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"children","topics":[{"id":"children","evidence":"I personally experience painful tingling in my hands so that I sometimes have to stop using my computer."},{"id":"ehs","evidence":"It's been financially costly to support our bodies to cope with this much radiation stress, and I do not use a smartphone due to my sensitivity."},{"id":"neurological","evidence":"I personally experience painful tingling in my hands so that I sometimes have to stop using my computer."},{"id":"infrastructure","evidence":"Our family lives near a cell phone tower in Germany and my children (now early teens) have experienced many symptoms in the last years - trouble sleeping (especially since Smart Meters were introduced in all buildings here!!!), persistent headaches in one child, and nec"},{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":"a cell phone tower in Germany and my children (now early teens) have experienced many symptoms in the last years - trouble sleeping (especially since Smart Meters were introduced in all buildings here!!!), persistent headaches in one child, and neck problems."},{"id":"wifi","evidence":"To mitigate some of these constant issues - and yes, I am trying to move us to a new house! - I have invested in EMF protecting bedsheets, a router that automatically turns off when devices are off, screen-flicker blocking glasses..."},{"id":"access","evidence":"To mitigate some of these constant issues - and yes, I am trying to move us to a new house! - I have invested in EMF protecting bedsheets, a router that automatically turns off when devices are off, screen-flicker blocking glasses..."}],"summary":"A parent reports personal sensitivity and children's symptoms near a tower, describes household mitigation and its financial costs, and is seeking different housing.","reviewed_at":"2026-09-22T14:53:58Z","review_method":"AI-assisted full comment-body review with exact source passages; September 22 CSV update","review_source_sha256":"f37102708bc892e4fbe41346501a56da5a9745a15b0ea8a90eae64155fd6ee49","source_url":"https://rfsafe.net/hhs-comments/data/catalog.json","scope":"Original comment body; attachments excluded"},"forum_topics":["children","ehs","neurological","infrastructure","smart-meters","wifi","access"],"primary_topic":"children","forum_title":"A parent reports personal sensitivity and children's symptoms near a tower, describes household mitigatio…"}
