I had not had this problem with similar devices before.\nAfter I upgraded my home network to Wi-Fi 6 and plugged in the new router, I immediately developed a severe headache and nausea. Both stopped when I unplugged the router. I now keep it in a separate room. If I spend more than a few minutes in that room, the headache and nausea return.\nI have also had similar headaches, with a burning sensation, on recent flights. I believe this may be related to in-flight Wi-Fi.\nI now avoid Bluetooth headphones and generally keep my distance from this kind of equipment.\nI am not claiming this proves a specific medical mechanism. I am reporting a consistent pattern in my own life and urging HHS to support research into whether some people have become more sensitive to RF/EMF, including newer Wi-Fi generations and dense wireless environments (homes, aircraft). Distinguishing established evidence from emerging findings and uncertainty would help families and policymakers.\nThank you for considering public input.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1268","tags":["health-experiences","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"8c1e8442cd30b0f76e60775f4e12ec6182ced5e6b73829221a0b1556c760da55","slug":"health-experiences-comment-1268","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1268","body_sha256":"52de13300f13b6c5703d639e00d84c1fa1984836bb08c5ef2c622781240d6db3","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":"two years I have developed what feels like a new sensitivity to certain wireless equipment.
