ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields
(EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.
When using my cell phone, my fingers tingle and hurt. My Dr. can tell when I have had to much emf
exposure. I can not put a cell phone to my ear as after just a second or two, my ear and head start
burning. I didn't realize until a few days ago, that my electric meters were monitored remotely. The
meter is outside our (my late husband's and my) bedroom. We stayed out of the bedroom and slept in the living room without
understanding the reason. I cannot go into the Viaero cell phone store in my community without
getting a splitting headache that is not normal. Abnormal headaches are becoming more frequent. I
have a cell tower very close to my residence. I put emf protection on the wall facing the tower. That
helped some. I Know many others who have complained of health problems and disabilities because of
emf exposure including family members who are disabled due to emf exposure. They cannot travel, or
even get into newer cars. They started having problems with tingly and hurt hands touching a cell
phone.
I would appreciate the cell phone tower close to me at least moved as it is not only a health
hazard, its ugly as I have a beautiful view of the hill above me with a cell phone tower sticking out
ruining the view.
I talked with the power district about removing the meters at my residence and putting in ones that are
read manually. Doing so, will cost me $200 per meter, plus $30 extra each month if I read them and
$85 a month if the electric company comes out to read them. As the meters are a health issue, I would
appreciate help with paying for them, or a waiver to get them changed over.
