So there's a British woman who's been in the news recently for
diagnosing herself with a sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation.
She sleeps in a $500 EMF-blocking sack and has reportedly stayed in
the sack, from time to time, for 30-hour stretches. The woman --
70-year-old Rosi Gladwell of Totnes, Devon -- helps lead a small
advocacy group on the issue of EMF-related health issues, and she even
got the mayor of the Spanish village where she now lives to look into
ways to limit Wi-Fi access for residents. She fears that the
introduction of 5G mobile networks will kill her. Now seems like a
good time to remind readers that there is no evidence to support the
idea of "electromagnetic hypersensitivity." The World Health
Organization calls it "idiopathic environmental intolerance with
attribution to electromagnetic fields," or IEI-EMF.


Yet when you ask around, you find people who wake up
from sleep when a call or SMS comes in... with the phone
they fell asleep with set to silent, no vibe, and no lights.
