I'm borrowing a friend's computer to write of my experience, which has been unfortunately very troubling over the several years.  I am a college graduate with a lengthy career in hospitality & customer service.  As a relatively healthy individual with some chemical sensitivities, I do experience HSP (high sensory perception) and I'm deeply affected now around high powered/ high frequency microwave towers, radars, satellites and antennas.  This has only recently become so problematic I must limit my time spend in city centers and in large crowds.  I first began to recognize this as a critical health issue when Bluelink conjoined with an EMS tower went up adjacent to my folks house.  At the start, it looked like flushing of the skin, heart racing, anxiety, cognitive impairment, tinnitus, eye problems and depression (for approx. 1 week after exposure.)  Once I wore a heart rate monitor while at their place, and my resting was 120 BPM just sitting still (free of any caffeine)  I also notated that my core body temp had risen by 2 degrees from 97 to 99 one evening when I had only spent 4-5 hours there.  Once I made the connection it was from this installation, I began observing compounded health affects after stay overnight in densely populated areas (with hundreds or even thousands) with these instruments (mounted on rooftops of hotels) on every corner.  Immediate exposure 2-12 hours would always result in heart beat irregularities, over heating/ sweating, chafing of the skin, dehydration, confusion, skin rash, watering eyes, anxiety, extreme thirst and insomnia.  After 1-3 days of exposure... those symptoms expanded into eye swelling, vision changes, memory loss/ brain fog, neuralgia, reduced sight, inflamed sore gums, depression, fatigue/ malaise, restlessness and blood flow & nerve issues, mood changes and general feelings of illness.  Basically the longer the exposure, the worse the symptoms.. simply put, it is cumulative.  Now I must AVOID such areas where towers & antennas are packed in, and especially in DIRECT LINE of sight.  That being said, as a person who loves to travel (and has always been a \"city\" person, this is deeply devasting as I am no longer able to put myself at risk therefore I have to be very picky and choosy now about where I spend my time and I can not just patronage these areas anymore with paying a significant price.  The lingering affects of 1-5 days of continual 5G exposure often involves 1-3 weeks of recovery time for me, which I believe is due to the OXIDATIVE stress.  Therefore, I strongly believe these microwave technologies are silently destroying soft tissues and cause all kinds of physical and mental illness.  Especially after witnessing the RAPID deterioration of my folks, as they both appeared rather deathly and severely depressed.. their skin turned gray, and were no longer recognizable.  They both got dementia at the same time and had heart * and organ problems.  Additionally, they both had chronic infections.  It was it clear to me based on their behavior and health, these high powered devices were slowly siphoning the life out of them and there was nothing they could do about it.  Thankfully other family members were able to get them out of the house and move them after a year or two of this.  One person nearly fully recovered.  The other did not.  I have therefore begun taking this issue VERY seriously as I can feel it's affects personally as a healthy person.  However it is extremely difficult to AVOID exposure and over exposure when it is now EVERYWHERE and inundated into our daily environment.  Hence, I am witnessing the impacts it has not only on humans, but also on the vegetation, trees, insects, animals and ambient heating of ground temps and local microclimates.  I realize this is part of our infrastructure now, however I strongly encourage updated and rigorous regulations.  In my experience LTE over 5G is safer and a better way forward for optimal human health.  Additionally, I think set backs should be the gold standard for protecting all humans, especially seniors, children, nature preserves, livestock, ocean habitats, residential areas and even real estate values.   Additionally, patrons of hotels and vacationers, should be able to experience rest and relaxation without harm.  Or at the very minimum be able to stay in an ADA room with low emf for those with sensitivities.  I could go onto explain other instances when I have been injured or affected but I think for for now, I will leave you with this.. As we continue to evolve in the future, through sustainable technology, perhaps HSP (high sensitivity perception) can be added to the ADA guidelines for safety and health requirements for building codes and hotel stays.  And big tech must be held accountable to updated exposure limits for all.
