Medic history knows that every epoch has its own actual diseases. In former times people suffered from plague and smallpox and less than a century ago we suffered from Spanish influenza.
The terrible scourge of modern times is allergy. Our immune system rebels against different chemistry which all earth is saturated with. However the problem is not only in the chemistry.
The novelty of the last 10 years – is electrical hypersensitivity. The space around us is saturated with the electromagnetic radiation. The number of sources is growing exponentially during last 10 years. First, it was a total expansion of the mobile phones, then Wi-Fi, tablet PCs and mobile modems. Plus, the number of the other electrical appliances doesn’t decrease.
New challenge of new century
Loads of electromagnetic radiation around us leads to the emergence of the new disease -electrosensitivity. Doctors call it “electromagnetic allergy”. Although, this illness is not confirmed by the WHO, every year it brings more and more problems to humanity and this illness can become the most awful enemy of the next generation.
According to the information from different sources, almost 1 person from 1000 suffers from the electrosensitivity at present. At the same time it is impossible to determine the real scale of this problem because of its uneven prevalence all over the Earth. Some regions (South America, Africa, Australia) haven’t even heard about such allergy. However, in Sweden, electromagnetic allergy is officially recognized as a clinical pathology. More than 230,000 patients (2.5% of the population) discovered this illness.
Neither doctors, nor the society has any idea of the negative effects of the influence of the electromagnetic radiation. Though, the WHO recognizes the reality of the danger. Cause of the non-availability of a common approach to the electrical sensitivity there are a lot of synonyms of this problem. For example, “hypersensitivity to the electromagnetic fields”, “electromagnetic sensitivity”, “electrical hypersensitivity”. Precisely because of such difference, the unofficial name is so much popular: “electromagnetic allergy”.
USA and Electromagnetic Noise
The question is: what should society, authorities and official medicine be set about? A lot of countries have already recognized the problem of such illness and its existence. So, precisely because of this problem Council of Europe and German authorities have already recommended to people to reduce the using of Wi-Fi and mobile phone, they say it is better to use wired internet connections and phones.
However, in the USA there is some slight development of the treatment. Not so long time ago Minerva Palomar, who had been working for 15 years with the electrical appliances, became the first patient, who had got permanent disability in connection with the obtained problems with health.
American doctors turned out to be in an awkward situation. On the one hand, there was an absence of official recognizing of the electromagnetic allergy. On the other hand, there were a lot of patients who had suffered from the similar unusual symptoms. In reply, doctors just recommended people, who had the sensitivity to the electromagnetic radiation to spend more time at home where there is no Wi-Fi or enjoy the beauty of nature, especially of the forests, more frequently. People say that it can help only for a little time, but I think it is worth trying. In the USA hundreds and thousands of people are sure that they suffer from such allergy.
Many people move to Green Bank – the only settlement in the USA where there aren’t any wireless connections and they are prohibited at the state level. The thing is that not far from the town there is the biggest space radio telescope in the world. Functioning of the wireless connections can be dangerous for the unique equipment.
There is no concrete way to overcome electric sensitivity. This allergy is not sufficiently investigated, so you could only reduce the radiation to avoid the appearance of this unusual problem.

Hi, I just wanted to LET you all know, that I am too allergic to Electricity, make me Cough… YES, I thought I was CRAZY at first :((. But I can’t STAND when Electric Motors, TV, Microwave, Phone Chargers, Battery Charging Tools, the fricking Refrigerator, some machines doesn’t bother. Really Strange :(((, funny thing is, it makes my Dog Cough too. That’s how I found out, cause when I cough, my Dog cough. At first, I said it must be something in the House or Air… After 3 YEARS of hunting, I found out. YES 3 LONG YEARS, me and my Dog suffered :(((( I don’t know why, just ONE DAY… BAM….
