In order to maintain internet access after moving home in 2011 we were obliged to exchange our old wired modem for the newer style « livebox ». Being concerned about RF & WIFI radiation we always used ethernet cable to connect the pc to the new modem in order to avoid using WIFI. At around the same time we also changed to a newer pc (with WIFI capability) and continued to use ethernet cable to connect it to the « livebox ».\n\nSoon after arriving at the new home I began to experience unprovoked episodes of fearfulness. These episodes occurred at all times of the day and night.\n\nBy chance we discovered that even though we used ethernet cable for internet access the « livebox » default setting was emitting WIFI. Having disabled the « livebox » WIFI we hoped that the episodes of fearfulness would end. However this was not the case.\nResearching further we discovered that the new pc’s default setting was also enabling WIFI.\n\nHaving also disabled the pc WIFI the unpleasant episodes of fearfulness ended.\n\n     2. Having lost our fixed telephone due to storm damage in 2023 we bought a mobile telephone to replace it. This phone causes a warm tingling sensation in the skin, so is kept in a far corner of the house – rendering it useless for receiving calls since the telephone system permits insufficient time for us to access it before it cuts to voicemail.\n\nNow that daily life is ruled by smartphone access to almost everything we find ourselves excluded.\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 not only by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health.\n\nThe experiences of individuals and families who report being affected have been thus far ignored and belittled. These experiences must be considered alongside the scientific evidence.\nI urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.\nThank you for providing individuals, families, health care providers, independent researchers, with an opportunity to finally be heard on this critical public health issue.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-2130","tags":["exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"654776bc695283a26f0da9e7a53b55c26f0c70360a4bd877aa50bb390e5c668f","slug":"exposure-places-comment-2130","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-2130","body_sha256":"06c31b75e0a40ce3a50a5dc6a39602aa51880b1f84611bd1394db9cd7843ddd8","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"wifi","topics":[{"id":"wifi","evidence":"tyle « livebox ».
