Wireless technology made me sick

All that wireless technology in your household can’t be good for you right? That’s the story of one 49-yr. old woman who claims that the electronic waves emitted from wireless devices is causing nauseous and sleeplessness.

It is the hi-tech tool that has revolutionised home and office alike – but a growing band of campaigners claim wi-fi is a major threat to health. Sufferers say the electro-magnetic waves emitted by wireless computer networks – wi-fi – leave them feeling exhausted, nauseous and sleepless. Author Kate Figes, spent hundreds of pounds installing wireless internet in her Stoke Newington home, then found it made her so ill she had to scrap it. Ms Figes, 49, claims she is so sensitive to wi-fi’s electro-magnetic waves she can instantly tell whether it is installed in a particular room.

All the convenience of being “unwired” has to affect our health right? What are your thoughts? Fanaticism? Or, cause for concern? Maybe it’s time to pull out that Cat-5 wiring again?

    It does. But we cant stop it!!!! THE RISING OF TEH (yes ! teh!) MACHINES!!!!!

    I don’t think it matters as much as these people are making it seem. I read a similar post at engadget.com today and they said that Wi-FI signal strength is only 100 mW. Compare that to 2 Watts output for the average cell phone! now there’s the health problem if there ever was one with electro-magnetic waves! Plus, it’s not like most people are carrying around wireless devices in their pockets either, but lots of people carry their cellphones in their pockets.

    The only technology that makes me sick is my alarm clock, it send waves that can’t be good for my ears.

    this is totally ture!!!!!1

    i believe my wireless network was also responsible for my colon problems a year ago, the waves can do severe harm to your lower resonance organs, i.e. food in your colon.,!!!!

    I believe that wi-fi is responsible for my problems with my neighbor. As wi-fi has allowed me to take my porn viewing outside and wack it. … wi-fi made my neighbor mad at me

    lets just look at all the radio, cell phone, cross continental communications, airport radar, oh don’t me forget all those microwaves we all have, lets only focus on the wifi

  7. Derek says:

    There are some great examples here…

    EM radiation in the WiFi spectrum may cause certain molecules to absorb energy but it would only be noticeable when standing next to, say a 4watt radio. That’s when your brain starts to “tingle”. :)

    The consumer radios we use in our homes are generally at such low power that we can’t sense their presence. It would be the same as standing 29′ away from a running microwave and being able to “sense” that it was running.

    I close with I wish my laptop could pick up a WiFi signal as good as this chick can.

    omg we have almost the same problem here… except with cell phone towers… there’s this group of REALLY irritating chinese women who claim cell phone towers give them headaches, and have successfully chased the plan to build one in our neighbourhood away… it’s so frustrating.

  10. Alex B says:

    okay, enough with these people complaining of headaches, is there going to be, or has there been any good scientific research being conducted to try and prove if this is indeed a problem, or if it is just some paranoid people who are sensing WiFi signals just like people who sense ghosts and aliens?

    get a leaden baldachin over your bed..
    geez.. I think I’ve just invented something.. :D

  12. Jimmy says:

    my head hurts from reading this.

  13. Dan says:

    What you or I _THINK_ about how someone else feels does not matter a damn bit.

    If someone feels uncomfortable because of wireless, then they feel uncomfortable because of wireless,.

    If you or I don’t, then you or I don’t.

    You like your foods, you react to your whims and you feel your pains just like they do to theirs.

    For instance: if you feel like shit, do you really give a damn what I _THINK_ about it?.
