When the power goes out, my body immediately relaxes ( despite the inconvenience of no electricity) I sleep better & more deeply with the power off ( even if it’s too warm or too cold)\n\nWhen I am in a public space with lots of WiFi I can feel vertigo, nausea or just exhaustion—- even though I felt fine elsewhere. In particular places with big swathes of fluorescent lighting are issues. ( I don’t shop at some big box stores anymore, due to this) those give me headaches.\n\nIn general my body has a very inflammatory response to all these EMFs…many of these symptoms go away when I am out in nature, far from WiFi signals & dirty electricity. We have avoided a Smart Meter for now, but our neighbors have them. \n\nI can only imagine how much healthier all of us will be when we clean these up.\n\nThank you,\n\nKaren Thompson","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0418","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"a63ac0452f7ebca965518a403528e1dc6dc1d90087ec292ab6528c43d8607864","slug":"health-experiences-comment-0418","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0418","body_sha256":"0c59767d401f4b4b8a722aadd25a1e51a002fdbb4a334ea3baf58ae232ba900e","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"electricity","topics":[{"id":"electricity","evidence":"I am an individual who hears electricity humming in the walls."},{"id":"wifi","evidence":"When I am in a public space with lots of WiFi I can feel vertigo, nausea or just exhaustion—- even though I felt fine elsewhere."},{"id":"neurological","evidence":"I am an individual who hears electricity humming in the walls."},{"id":"access","evidence":"When I am in a public space with lots of WiFi I can feel vertigo, nausea or just exhaustion—- even though I felt fine elsewhere."},{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":"We have avoided a Smart Meter for now, but our neighbors have them."}],"summary":"The commenter reports improved sleep during power outages, symptoms in wireless public spaces and avoidance of certain stores and smart meters.","reviewed_at":"2026-09-22T14:53:58Z","review_method":"AI-assisted full comment-body review with exact source passages; September 22 CSV update","review_source_sha256":"8f372308806100405e5b6ec8f918e2b8fa294fc0c02d0688504d407b9bf70b2e","source_url":"https://rfsafe.net/hhs-comments/data/catalog.json","scope":"Original comment body; attachments excluded"},"forum_topics":["electricity","wifi","neurological","access","smart-meters"],"primary_topic":"electricity","forum_title":"The commenter reports improved sleep during power outages, symptoms in wireless public spaces and avoidan…"}
