After about a week of usage, It heated up my head and ears while I was sleeping. I woke covered in sweat and beat red in the face and neck. The same happened again the next night and after that every time I tried to use the phone I would get shooting pains in my head, hot in the face and ears, brain fog, difficulty with speach, fatigue,equilibrium problems, and severe headache that would bring you to your knees. I figured out it was coming from the phone and I could feel the emf tingling through my body. I later discovered I have a condition called Electryhypersensitivity. Many more symptoms would follow and continue today.  I was part of a class action lawsuit against Apple due to the extreme high levels of radiation (exceeding guidelines) coming from the phone. I am still dealing with the symptoms and have to be excluded from many activities to avoid symptoms and being ill. I now get body jerks and muscle spasms along with the other symptoms when exposed. I have spent so much money on blocking materials to keep my home at a low level of emf in order to live my life without being sick. It is extremely challenging with all the smart gadgets everywhere. I am disabled and unable to get disability because our government will not recognize my condition and that puts me in a difficult position since I am unable to work. It is a very isolating condition and difficult to manage.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1105","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","policy-standards"],"source_hash":"58a6edff485800d38e87803e1723f420ccb5d21483a63d0fa29fc3773f558f09","slug":"health-experiences-comment-1105","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1105","body_sha256":"9facbd0fb75f9bc52dabb9d0efe8cc190d8f3b349dac99abd87bdd8fe1a1c545","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":" the emf tingling through my body.
