I am a member of the second class. I am 84 years old and live in a community with an overwhelming number of towers. I have developed more neurological symptoms as even more towers are erected.. On the rare occasions that I can escape from wireless radiation I have experienced a surge of well being and an alleviation of pain. Yes, this is anecdotal although I am seeing a neurologist for my nerve induced pain. There was a time when I scoffed at people saying they were \"electrically sensitive\". Now I am one of them.\n\nI 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.\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-2026-0397-4105","tags":["child-development","health-experiences","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"1877bc5dfe62972c88abb98c5156fbd79ee52db7a11e4bf39632ceb2e713a414","slug":"child-development-comment-4105","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4105","body_sha256":"fd679ac0a67a7669dee892a55d3775136c65ec1ce3f5666c7ba88ceb35de755c","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":"me when I scoffed at people saying they were \"electrically sensitive\".
