Talking on one creates a jarring, unpleasant sensation that makes it difficult to concentrate.  This lasts for hours after a call. A cell phone on the console net to me in a car makes my right leg very weak. \n\nTo a lesser extent, the same thing happens to me when I'm on a landline talking to someone on a cell phone. I can tolerate this \nfor about 30 minutes.  Some cell phones are worse than others.  \nOne cell phone I connect to is so bad I cannot tolerate even a few \nseconds or connection. I cannot even listen to voice messages from\nthat cell phone.\n\nI strongly urge the FCC to update their standards on safe levels of\nwireless radiation.\n\nI support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.\n\nI urge HHS to carefully evaluate the experience of individuals with electrical hypersensitivity, the effects of wireless radiation on other vulnerable populations and on the environment. Then, establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.\n\nThank you for providing me with an opportunity to be heard.\n\nKaren Perrin","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6511","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"f7851abbe2c12a5948fcbf0f64fc7c36c722581ace64cb58c44018e622aa0663","slug":"health-experiences-comment-6511","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6511","body_sha256":"3955f9c94b9f10d71a1d13d5745274d061afd38a855d81cdfdfa47e853b2d11b","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"difficult to concentrate"},{"id":"ehs","evidence":"individuals with electrical hypersensitivity"},{"id":"standards","evidence":"update their standards"},{"id":"research","evidence":"establish appropriate federal research priorities"}],"summary":"The commenter reports concentration difficulties and weakness associated with phone use, including calls through a landline.
