It started in 2005 when I was subjected to undue stress in the workplace and to the exhaust from a laser printer. It started with a red bloch on my left hand and increased to all areas of my skin that was exposed to the air. At its peak I was subjected to excruciating pain, like an electric shock, that affected all parts of my nervous system.  My only solution was to not expose myself to electromagnetic fields. I was forced to quit my job using a computer. One day after I turned on my computer I was met with a strong electric shock that went straight to my heart. Today I still suffer from the effects, but not as dramatic. At its peak I could locate electric wires and cables in walls and even underground. Passing under overhead  high voltage lines in a car drew very strong electric shocks in my nervous system. I saw a research doctor in San Francisco and he determined that the surface temperature of my skin  increased when exposed to an electromagnetic field. Apparently my skin is conducting electricity.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0675","tags":["health-experiences","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"d81f2bddf5af1d3b5905f8ceb510dd2c8af0c84f5c427072ceed6e807598533b","slug":"health-experiences-comment-0675","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0675","body_sha256":"da7f36a67fa3b654fb28bd24e0db70fcfa38e3eed79c2f988219af03c6dd278f","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":"electromagnetic hypersensitivity"},{"id":"occupational","evidence":"undue stress in the workplace and to the exhaust from a laser pr"},{"id":"access","evidence":"s forced to quit my job using a computer.
