{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4862","number":"4862","name":"Debra Trublood","organization":"","posted":"2026-10-26T04:00Z","received":"2026-10-17T04:00Z","body":"I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.\n\nI am responding from the perspective of a patient diagnosed with EMR Syndrome and as an UNPAID 24x7, care-giver to my special needs sister who has also been diagnosed with EMR Syndrome.\n\nDue to \"years\" of continuous, accumulative, 24x7, non-stop exposure from the combination and interaction of multiple and simultaneous RF radiation sources including but not limited to: smart meters, antennas, cell towers, other people's cell phones and i-watches, self check-out registers, vehicle sensors, LED lighting all public places, Flock cameras, security cameras (hospitals, health care settings, public places) smart TV's public places, public transportation, amusement parks (no more Disneyland), \"Un-regulated and Un-Accounted\" for antennas on neighbor's homes plus neighbor's RF radiation from their smart meters, solar panels and multiple WiFi sources.\n\nI have to take care of my sister on top of trying to take care of myself while battling EMR Syndrome.  My sister can't communicate how she feels.  It's by her behavioral issues and/or mood when I know RF radiation is affecting her and my RF meter never fails to substantiate.\n\nPrior to the rollout of 5G, we went to the gym 4 days per week, church weekly, outings with friends, movies, lunch or dinner regularly, birthday parties, had zoo memberships, vacations and a lot of LIFE! Now we are \"semi-prisoners\" in a shielded home that still isn't enough.\n\nThis has all been taken away from us and we no longer have the quality of life that we had in the past prior to the deployment of 5G and by the FCC not placing a moratorium to study the health affects on humans when in fact they were given overwhelming evidence of the harm to humans, animals and the environment.  We have been denied our quality of life and disenfranchised by the FCC.\n\nOur special needs community is even more vulnerable because a lot of this population is non-verbal and some can't process exactly what is happening to their bodies when exposed to RF Radiation. I can testify that it's terrifying being radiated, experiencing instant brain fog and panic then wanting to run away fast from this \"invisible\" force that's over-stimulating your nervous system and entire body.. It has to be more terrifying for special needs trying to process what is happening and not understanding they're being \"radiated.\"  It can trigger behavioral issues leading to unjustified \"punishment\" and being  \"Misdiagnosed\" or \"Let's just heavily medicate, isolate and institutionalize them.\" Shame on us!  Many are probably prescribed \"unnecessary, harmful medications\" when they might have EMR Syndrome and need to live, work and socialize in a low, EMF environment.\n\nI have watched multiple times while attending equine therapy with my sister when suddenly a special needs child would have behavioral issues while surrounded by several school teacher's and aides who all have cell phones and/or i-watches.  I've watched in AGONIZING silence, an innocent victim being disciplined, threatened to have their horse ride taken away unless they behave, then threatened to be sent home because they're not behaving. One child got sent home. One child was denied their horse ride.  \n\nI personally know a bus trainer and the drivers are now complaining of getting sick driving the new, electric buses which have a lot of  \"sensors.\" They are trained on how to recognize \"sensory\" issues. This is now creating havoc on bus drivers and students with \"sensory\" issues with these new, electrified buses.  \n\nShort version of our symptoms: tinnitus, tori (bony overgrowth in mouth, mine is massive), headaches, Burning skin, depression, cataracts, tingling in head, minor to major nausea, abnormal skin conditions, irritability, sleep disturbances, dizziness, thyroid disease and brain fog.  My sister can't tell me everything that's wrong with her but she has most of the same symptoms I've listed. I'll never know if she has tinnitus but she does have thyroid nodules. One needs a biopsy. No health organization can accommodate us. Help, please!\n\n\nWe need help in the ER at hospitals.  2 bad experiences having to take my sister to the ER in the last 6 months and ridiculed by staff when I mention EMR Syndrome. I almost passed out last month in the ER while waiting.\n\nHuman health should be addressed by federal agencies with expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of families who report being affected should be mandatory with the scientific evidence.\n\nPlease carefully evaluate these experiences, scientific evidence, identify gaps in research, give attention to children and vulnerable populations and establish federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation.\n\nHHS, thank you for letting our voices be heard and making desperate changes in the ER and health settings.\n\n\n","attachments":["https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4862/attachment_1.pdf"],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4862","tags":["child-development","health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"68f9a6eec3f66ea52db77419480a863d3c8de09d94ed48e3fe5d4ce3bf593f25","slug":"child-development-comment-4862","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4862","body_sha256":"5b9457366138907dfca9471c56e4a92245a6b3dca5d560af6d73c7799c537c29","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"access","topics":[{"id":"access","evidence":"No health organization can accommodate us.
