DearDepartment of Human Services,
My life was turned upside downb in January 2020 after Verizon 5G Ultra towers emanating milimeter waves were installed in neighborhood. I first thought all the uproar about 5G was over the top, and although I did have issues with feeling burning pain throughout my body and headaches right in front of 3G / 4G towers, it was not life - altering, and I would avoid being around them as much as possible.
With the small cell Verizon 5G towers, three were put in a triangulated pattern less than a quarter of a mile from my apartment complex. The first time I walked under one of these towers, my head started vibrating in a way I had never experienced in my life, so right away there was something different / not right here. It only took a day to feel that the air felt "glassy", and it was harder to breathe. I also noticed the birds and crickets becoming much quieter as well.
Within three weeks, I realized that I was getting inflammation in my chest wall and thyroid area. It was impacting my singing voice, but then I realized that if I was at least a mile a way from these towers, the inflammation went away after about an hour, and my hoarseness went away. My nextdoor door neighbors were impacted as well, as they started getting swollen lymph nodes in their necks and felling extremely worn out.
A year later I started experiencing debilitating brain fog, extreme fatigue, and a red rash on my chest when I was exposed to these millimeter (almost microwave)frequencies! The problem was(and still is at this time), the nearest Verizon 5G Tower is in line of sight of my bedroom window! I started developing terrible insomnia and ringing in my ears, so I had to move my sleep area to my living room, as the closet that contains my metal water heater on my patio just outside of my living area, blocks some of the frequencies.
Later I started developing fright or flight feelings 24 - 7, as I felt as if I was being literally poisoned, and my body wanted to run away from the source! The past couple of years I have developed plaque psriorsis on my scalp that is INTOLERABLE and no solutions have been found except to move to a new place, which I can't afford at this time. My medical team thinks I have MAST CEll ACTIVATION SYNDROME (MCAS), but it has not formally been diagnosed at this time. I am also experiencing significant chemical sensitivities now, when it was only a minor issue in the past.
I am so exhausted that it is like hitting a literal wall at times, and with most 3 / 4G towers being converted to 5G, I cannot walk near them without experiencing gut wrenching pain. Please eliminate these towers before they cause significant harm to all humans.
Warm regards,
Lael T. Mark
