ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please remove 4G and 5G antennae from public and private spaces. We care for dozens of people who have literally nowhere to live, nowhere to go. These frequencies make them so ill that they cannot function, cannot live in society. They give me arrhythmia and tinnitus and insomnia, but that is nothing to the dastardly effects upon the quality of life of so many of our neighbors and friends. Cancer clusters are endemic around these fields. We cannot afford to lose more good patriotic Americans to biological weaponry. Thank you for taking protective action on the behalf of the People.

The commenter reports pressure, sweating and tremors near towers and wireless devices and describes diffi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Three years ago, I discovered I could feel a pressure between my eyes, and sometimes in my chest, that I grew to understand as wavelengths when I walked past cell towers located on or near the crosswalks. Over the course of a year I noticed that being on a cell phone or computer would cause me to sweat and produce micro tremors that became debilitating. Since then I have undergone much treatment to improve my health. However, I continue to feel cell towers, cell phones, and Wi-Fi, making it challenging to navigate the world on a daily basis. I am able to last longer, but still experience negative affects from cell, phone Wi-Fi and cell tower exposure.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am now in my 70’s and have been adversely affected by RF radiation since 2009, when a transmitting "smart" meter was installed on my home. My heart was racing, I was unable to think or sleep, was labile and exhausted. I was soon affected by phone towers as much as a kilometer away, as well as by cellphones. Symptoms included insomnia, tinnitus, anxiety, digestive and circulatory problems, fatigue, poor memory, inability to think and make decisions. I could not stand in queues due to others with cellphones, and could not be in buildings with wifi after that started. I had to give up my consultancy career in 2011, due to being unable to be in so many environments. I was affected by fluorescent and LED lightbulbs and obviously unable to use a cell phone myself. I also became affected by lower frequency radiation, from circuitry in the walls at home. I used to travel frequently but now was, and am, unable to use any form of public transport or sleep in any venues with wifi. So I am unable to return to the country of my birth, where my family of origin live. I am unable to wait in waiting rooms, where others are on their phones; am unable to have Xrays, MRIs or CAT scans due to how I might be affected by the radiation; and do not know what would happen if I was ill and had to go to a hospital. Receiving no help from doctors who do not understand this issue, I spent thousands of dollars trying to help myself survive and recover: gadgets, shielding, therapies, blood tests, vitamins… My relationships were affected as many friends could not understand or be bothered with my inability to go places and do things. I see my own family less often than I would have as I had to move away from suburbia. My life has been quite isolated as I cannot join in the groups I used to participate in - learning, teaching, sharing, exercising. Instead I spend much time at home on my hardwired computer. Physically I am lately affected by extreme fatigue for days after exposure, rather than being aware of radiation at the time, as used to be the case. So this technology has in a sense made me an outcast, anxious about going places, unable to join in or contribute as I used to. It has changed my life to a very limited one (in Australia).

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The radiation plus the heavy metals being sprayed in our sky's. Heart palpitations, chest heaviness, pressure in head, constant ear ringing. Gets worse the closer to the towers. When clearly out of range no symptoms at all. They all go away. And yes been to many doctors and cardiologist who never find anything wrong.

The commenter reports severe symptoms and loss of work following wireless meter installation, acknowledge…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment as an individual to share my personal health experience and to ask HHS to give serious consideration to people who report health effects they believe may be associated with RF/EMF exposure. My experience began in approximately 2018, after wireless utility meters were installed near my home. Before that time, I was healthy, working, running my own business, traveling, and functioning independently. Within a relatively short period after the meters were installed, I began experiencing symptoms that were very unusual for me, including nausea and vomiting, severe insomnia, palpitations, migraines, tinnitus, dizziness, balance problems, weakness, whole-body tingling and numbness, burning eyes, temperature dysregulation, and profound fatigue. I also developed persistent numbness and pain in my hands and feet and difficulty concentrating and functioning normally. Over time, these problems became severe enough that I was no longer able to work. Activities that had once been ordinary became increasingly difficult. I have had difficulty typing and using my hands, difficulty sleeping, and periods of weakness and dizziness that have affected my independence and my ability to safely carry out everyday activities. My medical records contain documentation concerning effects from electromagnetic fields/radiation, as well as chronic fatigue and neuropathy. I have continued to seek medical care and evaluation for these problems. One of the most significant observations in my experience has been what happens when I am away from my home environment. During periods when I have stayed elsewhere, including a period at my sister's home where there were no smart meters, I experienced noticeable improvement in my symptoms. I have also noticed improvement during shorter periods away from my home. I recognize that these observations alone cannot establish causation, but the repeated difference I have experienced is one reason I believe this warrants further scientific and public-health investigation. My exposure concerns have continued as additional electric meters have been installed near my residence. Multiple electric meters are now located near my bedroom windows. I became so concerned about my bedroom environment that I have been unable to sleep there for an extended period and now sleep on my sofa. It is difficult to describe what it feels like to no longer feel comfortable in your own home. I lost my ability to work and the financial independence that came with it. I live on a fixed income. I never expected that I would reach a point where sleeping in my own bedroom, concentrating, using my hands normally, feeling steady on my feet, and simply having enough energy to get through the day would become difficult. I am not asking HHS to consider my individual experience as scientific proof of causation. I am asking that experiences such as mine be taken seriously as health observations and considered alongside the scientific evidence when identifying research gaps and determining whether additional investigation is warranted. I believe particular attention should be given to long-term and cumulative exposure, individual susceptibility, real-world exposure conditions, and people who report significant symptoms in connection with wireless and utility-meter environments. I also believe that people who report these experiences should have appropriate medical and public-health resources available to them rather than having their experiences dismissed simply because the science is not yet settled. I have photographs, videos, medical records, and other documentation relating to my experience and the environment around my home. I am willing to provide supporting documentation if requested. I am sharing my experience because I do not want other people—particularly children, older adults, people with existing health conditions, or others who may be especially sensitive to environmental exposures—to find themselves struggling in their own homes without their experiences being heard and properly investigated. I respectfully ask HHS to continue investigating reported health effects associated with RF/EMF exposure, including non-cancer effects, long-term and cumulative exposure, individual susceptibility, and real-world exposure conditions, and to ensure that appropriate medical, biological, and public-health expertise is included in that work.

The commenter reports a spouse's chest symptoms after a meter installation and describes unsuccessful eff…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you for a forum. The story we have began when 5g rolled out in conjunction with the arrival of a smart meter on our house. We first noticed my wife getting sensations in her chest while on the couch which happened to be where the meter was on the outside of the house. When we requested help from met-ed or First Energy, we were told you have 2 choices, have no power or move to another state. We contacted the PUC and if you look into it no had ever got favorable results. We have done everything possible to REDUCE EMF's and she is less often irritated but during high internet usage and certain times of the day she still gets stress symptoms. Unfortunately no doctor will even try to listen or address the issue in any way but lable her DELUSIONAL. Have a conversation with her and will quickly understand that to be unfounded just their way of dismissal.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I live probably 1/8th of a mile (as the crow flies) away from two towers that have 5g attached to them. I can see them clearly from my house. I have been waking up with headaches quite often over the past few years. I have also noticed that it's hard to drift off to sleep and am often still awake at 2 or 3 in the morning. Brain fog is another side effect that has been happening, as well as having heart palpitations off and on throughout the day. I honestly don't think that the towers are our only health issues. We are being sprayed on a daily basis by airplanes with millions of tons of toxic metals and other toxic ingredients. Now we have data centers popping up everywhere and we all know that they are causing us to have health issues and draining our resources for something that we absolutely can live without. We don't need 5g . We did fine without it. It's like a giant microwave oven that is slowly killing us and all living things around it.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The affects of EMF/RF Radiation has ruined not only my permanently injured my health but has also robbed my home from me! Five years ago, I purchased my dream home in Rockwall, Texas, which is loaded with towers and began feeling sick within weeks after purchasing it! Dizziness, major, heart, palpitations, headaches! I began to lose my eyesight and developed severe hip and lower back pain. My naturopathic Doctor Who owns the Health food store here asked where my smart meter was and much to my horror. It was on the other side of the wall from my head where I was sleeping. It just about gave me endometrial cancer!!! Two years later they moved up to 5G and blasted us and I lost that house and haven’t been able to pack it up because every time I go back there it makes me sick. I’ve had two realtors quit because they get sick being on that corner and around that part of the neighborhood.. as it turns out that Location is within 1 mile from up to 70 cell towers and antennas! Everyone talks about how they feel sick in our town. It’s beyond terrible and on top of that I feel a detachment from my life and deep depression that I’ve never felt before until they blasted us with 5G!!! Every day at 5 o’clock many of us have heart, palpitations, headaches, a feeling of haziness and blurred vision! Imagine what this will do to us long-term! I am now having hormone problems connected to breast health that I’ve never had before. This is causing my health to fail for sure, and it has ruined the quality of my life! Thank you so much for launching this investigation!!! Please stop these terrible towers or we are in trouble! Cellular radiation has absolutely ruined my life! I have never been sensitive to it until they moved up to 5G and started placing all of these towers everywhere and now I’m just dealing with a depression from it all because it just seems hopeless at this point! Because of the level of radiation that we are dealing with here, I am not able to live in my beautiful home and have to power through the health symptoms while I’m there packing it up! Needless to say it’s taking us forever to do so!!

The commenter expresses concern about Bluetooth emissions from an implanted pacemaker and possible cancer…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My surgeon implanted a new pacemaker inside me in August 2025. Before the surgery, I had asked him if the pacer generated any radiation. He said no. Afterwards I learned that my new pacer contains a Bluetooth device that generates EMF throughout the day for warning signals. It also generates EMF for my pacer interrogations every 3 months. I was very concerned about this because I've read numerous medical articles that report a connection with EMF and cancer. I asked for the Bluetooth to be turned off. A representative from Medtronic, the manufacturer, said he could turn off all the Bluetooth warning signals but not the Bluetooth EMF emissions for the periodic interrogations. In addition, the EMF would last for 30 minutes AFTER each interrogation, or for 2 hours every year. I've read that EMF changes DNA in a cumulative way, so that suggests that the EMF, embedded in my tissue and above my left breast, could be increasing my risk for breast cancer. As a result, I have stopped my pacer interrogations as well as the warning signals. The surgeon told me that no research is intended for the Bluetooth device in new pacemakers. I thought this intention might suggest that the manufacturer was concerned that there could be a cancer link with the Bluetooth in its pacemakers.
