ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 parent, and family member. I have personally been affected by wireless radiation such as the LED light bulbs that all have RF as states in the fine print on the package. LED light bulbs pulsate constantly and it regularly gives me headaches and my eye regularly ache. Also, I remember in all of the years prior to LED light bulbs being created I rarely had headaches or eye aches. I have had a similar experience with the smart meter that was put on our home. Prior to smart metera, I rarely had headaches, byt after it was installed without our consent, I experience more frequent headaches and I also notice that I get very high pitched tones in my ears regularly. I have tried different things to hope that it goes away such as trying to shut down the wifi at night during sleep, but the high pitched tones are not as strong but they continue. I would love to be able to buy incandescent full spectrum light bulbs again, and I would love to have our smart meter removed. 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.
