I am submitting this as an individual severely impacted by all four types of electromagnetic fields (EMFs).\nTimeline of Symptoms & Diagnosis\n2007: Developed severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) following an unidentified odor exposure in my former home. Experts noted that individuals with MCS frequently go on to develop Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS).\n2008: Secured permanent remote work accommodations due to severe asthma triggered by workplace fragrances and photosensitivity to fluorescent office lighting.  \n2012: Maintained a stable environment with low-transmission Wi-Fi and a 3G smartphone. RF levels remained low (.05 V/m), and dirty electricity lines registered within acceptable parameters (35–50 GSU).  This is the 1st year I received an accommodation to retain use of my older low-EMF workplace laptop which continued until 2018.\n2016: Onset of full EHS triggered by the nationwide 4G rollout, stronger neighboring Wi-Fi networks, and switching to a 4G smartphone. Physical contact with the phone caused burning pain and head lesions. Discontinued home Wi-Fi and transitioned to a completely hardwired internet network.  Readings on my Acoustimeter increased to .06-.35.  I can now hear cell antenna transmissions sounds on my RF meter.  The Graham Stetzer Line Meter readings are now 50-100 GSU.\n2018: A water utility smart meter installation caused immediate, severe brain fog, heart palpitations, and anxiety. The meter was successfully removed, but the threat of forced re-installation remains a constant source of stress.  \nAugust 2024: A severe regional storm knocked out utility power and local cell antennas for six days. During this outage, chronic EHS symptoms temporarily vanished, restoring cognitive clarity and relieving skin irritation.\n•\tRecent Medical History (2024–2026): Required an emergency room visit for heart attack-like symptoms, specialized steroid eye drops for severe EHS-related dry eye, and dental interventions for chronic jaw clenching caused by EMF-induced nighttime pain.\n2026 Current Living Environment & Mitigations\nEnvironmental exposure has surged due to dense local cellular infrastructure (396 towers and 244 antennas within a 3-mile radius according to AntennaSearch) and powerful neighboring Wi-Fi mesh routers. Ambient RF readings now average .15 to 1.0 V/m, and dirty electricity spikes up to 500 GSU. To cope, I have implemented strict mitigation protocols:\nShielding: Installed double layers of Swiss Shield Naturelle fabric on bedroom walls, though it cannot entirely block neighboring mesh routers or smart home devices.\n•Grid Isolation: Unplug major kitchen appliances when not in use. Manually shut off targeted electrical circuits at night to reduce ambient electric fields.\nHardwired Device Infrastructure: Home Wi-Fi is entirely banned, and the incoming internet COAX cable is physically disconnected every night.\nSmart Device Isolation: My smartphone operates strictly via grounded Ethernet adapters with every internal wireless radio (RF, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, and Location Services) completely disabled. Texts are drafted on airplane mode and transmitted rapidly during brief activation windows.\nIsolation & Daily Disruptions: I must spend the majority of my day inside specialized protective canopies. Standard social activities like going to the gym, dining out, or participating in recreational leagues are impossible. Routine chores require leaving the house for hours due to the massive dirty electricity fields produced by modern digital appliance displays.\nSymptoms - Exposure to active RF radiation or elevated dirty electricity consistently triggers:\n•Loud, persistent tinnitus\n•Burning, itchy skin and physical lesions\n•Severe headaches, intense head pressure, and dizzy spells\n•Chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, and acute memory difficulties\n•Sharp, stabbing body pains, severe muscle tightening, and chest pain\n•Heart palpitations, systemic food sensitivities, and rapid full-body overheating\nFinancial and Personal Impact\nOver $50,000 has been expended on specialized RF meters, structural shielding fabric, grounded adapters, professional building biology consultations, and extensive integrative or environmental medical care. Maintenance requires daily testing with an Acoustimeter because routine operating system updates (such as Windows 11) regularly override system configurations and silently reactivate hidden hardware radios via the UEFI BIOS.\nConclusion\nTrue relief is achieved only through absolute EMF avoidance. I spend multiple days per week sitting in remote park areas where background RF is minimal, supplementing avoidance with earthing, magnesium foot soaks, and cold showers. I live in persistent anxiety regarding the ongoing deployment of modern utility and cellular infrastructure.","attachments":["https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6259/attachment_1.pdf","https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6259/attachment_1.docx"],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6259","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"c58cb9502e315695be691bb984175cb65f4bd0cc57f0ded949c5335eb5d6eb13","slug":"health-experiences-comment-6259","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6259","body_sha256":"1b9bab801ed49e82d63c69705f947e050c30585b8f0e7398ad2f8a8287804286","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":"viduals with MCS frequently go on to develop Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS).\n2008: Secured permanent remote work accommodations due to"},{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":"e Meter readings are now 50-100 GSU.\n2018: A water utility smart meter installation caused immediate, severe brain fog, heart palpitati"},{"id":"neurological","evidence":"ity consistently triggers:\n•Loud, persistent tinnitus\n•Burning, itchy skin and physical lesions\n•Severe headaches, int"},{"id":"cardiac","evidence":"s, severe muscle tightening, and chest pain\n•Heart palpitations, systemic food sensitivities, and rapid full-body overheating\nFi"},{"id":"electricity","evidence":"phone.
