If plugged in the problem is off the charts.  The symptoms do NOT stay local to the hand and will present in other arts of the body.  \n\nAs an anecdote I was taking long trips each week and would tend to hold my phone while driving.  I would inevitably end up with dull pain in my groin.  I tried to remedy thinking it was a possible UTI will no progress.  It took a couple of months to determine cause as the symptoms seems to come and go.\n\nNow it’s evident and obvious that phones are the cause!\n\nLastly, traveling past 5G towers cause noticeable head aches that disappear as you get further away.  \n\nShocked our society allows for these technologies with these known issues.  I’m convinced many peoples supposed “health” issues are just symptoms of RF exposure.  I’m very sensitive physically to external stimuli and this is so very obvious.  Please do research and expose this for it’s detrimental effects.\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-2484","tags":["health-experiences","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"ac74c7e0fc7750ae16304b7682607bf5b075b6f1e6a9741472cde381ac16f7c2","slug":"health-experiences-comment-2484","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-2484","body_sha256":"c6f309fcf7a1758a72c390a2db91622ffda715b1e80e832c7595928fd3ec632f","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"aveling past 5G towers cause noticeable head aches that disappear as you get further away.  \n\nShocked our soci"},{"id":"infrastructure","evidence":"e the cause!\n\nLastly, traveling past 5G towers cause noticeable head aches that disappear as you get furth"},{"id":"research","evidence":"and this is so very obvious.
