I personally had to return several new iphones as simply holding them to look at the screen triggered numbness and radiating pain from my hand up my arm. After typing a short text message, it took almost an hour for the pain and numbness to dissipate. I do not ordinarily have any pain or numbness in my hands  or arms so the causation was obvious an repeatable. If I held it, it appeared. When I set it down and moved away from it, it slowly dissipated. Ultimately I sought out used older equipment that was built for LTE/4G but could make it to 5G. As the suppliers are always pushing forward with their new designs and the used supply is diminishing, I am living on borrowed time equipment-wise. I am a small business owner and a trained lawyer. I am not a quack. I am simply electromagnetically sensitive thus I become the \"canary in the coal mine\" that reveals what is more slowly harming others. And I am not alone. Please step the system limits back to 4G/LTE or hold them at 5G. Do not push forward. thank you for your time.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-2290","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","biology-metabolism","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"3ba48c81ce3dafd7149a9343d0f12f3833cab5c3bb5411ea617f2ad2373e97b0","slug":"health-experiences-comment-2290","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-2290","body_sha256":"fb497951dd8f20381269eaac11651727e0f3018c48d706e8fdc10a1f01c51f8b","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":"For those of us who are electromagnetically sensitive, the switch from LTE/4G to 5G was physically traumatic"},{"id":"neurological","evidence":"holding them to look at the screen triggered numbness and radiating pain from my hand up my arm.
