1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Wi-Fi 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):6-7 years, anytime I am in a highly WiFi area or with in close proximity 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Face rash like a burn, skin feels like it is tingling/burning, feel like a weight is pressing against my body, increased irritability and fatigue. It lifts immediately when WiFi is turned off on my computer or when I distance myself from the source. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:When I turn Wi-Fi on for my laptop, I feel the adverse health effects immediately. On days working in an office where I cannot control how many devices are near me or the signal I am exposed to, I have noticable symptoms. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?I have spoken with my primary practitioner about the symptoms and she has said this could be a cause, but there is not an official diagnosis. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I have no WiFi active in my house. I would through a wired connection whenever possible. I turn off WiFi on the phone and vehicle. In this type of environment or when I am outdoors on vacation in the mountains, the symptoms all disappear. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have used a meter to measure exposure. Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:The fatigue I feel from a day of constant close proximity exposure is noticeable. I have pictures of the rash that develops on my face and neck. B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:iPhone, lap top computer, vehicle with WiFi and blue tooth turned on B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:In addition to WiFi in my new vehicle, I also have turned off the Bluetooth as I can feel it. B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:So far I have been able to use Bluetooth keyboards and mice. B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):Red light therapy, infrared sauna, PEMF mat, EMF block blankets and clothing, and time outdoors away from the city B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless: B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:Gluten and dairy sensitivity, B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:Red light therapy, infrared sauna, PEMF mat, EMF blocking blankets and clothing B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help: B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful): B3d. Treatments that had no effect: B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:45-54 B4. What is your age range?45-54 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2019 B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?Sioux Falls, SD
