Reports sensitivity affecting employment and social activities and a young adult son’s inability to atten…

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a patient, and mother of a young adult who is even more sensitive than I. My symptoms started about 10 years ago. I was constantly tired and getting bad headaches when passing in the vicinity of antennas. I switched off the WIFI at home, switched on my mobile phone as little a possible and soon realised that my health was improving. In the last 10 years, the quantity of EMF that we are submitted to has been multiplied. I can't go to public places anymore (theatres, concerts...) and I can't have a job in a WIFI environment. I am currently a teacher in an exceptional school, where electronic devices are forbidden. My social life has deteriorated as well. The worst is to see my 20 year old boy who is not physically able to attend classes at university : after 30 minutes, he has to go out, pale, with cardiac arrhythmia... Our lives are literally destroyed by EMF. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I 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. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard. Best regards, C.G.
