"Electro-Sensitives" are people who allegedly suffer from various physical and psychological ailments that they claim are caused by electro-magnetic radiation (EMR) from ordinary household appliances, radios, televisions, cell phones, Wi-Fi, computer monitors, overhead power lines, and many other sources.  The term is self-descriptive and is not a medical term.

Double-blind, controlled studies have repeatedly shown that electro-sensitives can't tell the difference between genuine and sham electro-magnetic fields (EMFs).  For example, a research team in Norway (2007) conducted tests using sixty-five pairs of sham and mobile phone radio frequency (RF) exposures.  Changes in heart rate or blood pressure were not related to the type of exposure (P: 0.30 to 0.88).  The study gave no evidence that RF fields from mobile phones cause head pain or discomfort or influence physiological variables.

A systematic review of 31 experiments testing 725 "electromagnetically hypersensitive" participants concluded that even though the claims made by alleged electromagnetic hypersensitivity sufferers described severe and sometimes disabling symptoms, it has proved difficult to show under blind conditions that exposure to EMF can trigger these alleged symptoms.  At the very least, this strongly suggests that "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" is unrelated to the presence of EMF.

Note that I am not saying that people are lying when they make these claims -- their symptoms may be very real to them -- but only that there is no valid scientific evidence to support their claims of causality or intensity of symptoms.

I didn't feel it so much with older moboile phones with those green lit little screens, but for some reason, it is modern phones and wifi that I feel it. We have wifi here. For months I turned it off at night so I could get to sleep. It took a while to adjust, but now I am less effected, so I may be getting imune to it.
Oh. I am thinking. Could being more frigile these last few years be because we have wifi in the house? As prior to this I was fine. Uhmmm. A co-incidence or not? Just a thought.

I once had an amazing thing happen to me. I was working on the railways. I had a break between trains of well over an hour, so I walked into the city of Swansea. Now the central part of the city I was in is about a mile away from the train station? Maybe slightly less but not by much.
Well. I was in the middle of Swansea and I walked past a public telephone box. It started to ring. No one else was going to answer it so I decided to answer and tell the caller that the have the wrong number. I was amazed to find it was control in Cardiff (An office which co-ordinates staff and train movements. Teain movemwnts in one room and staff organization/rostering in the other room next door with a communication hatch between them). Not only that, but they said my name as they wanted to speak to me about a train they needed me to work ASAP.
I asked them if they knew where I was and how did they know the number? They said they phoned Swansea as they knew I was in Swansea. I told them I was in the city centre and to give me ten to fifteen minutes to walk back to the station (Which was fine). I asked what number they had dialled. Turns out the number they dialled was only one figure out from the public call box in the city and they happened to have dialled the wrong number, and I happened to be the one person passing the very callbox they rang who decided to answer! Think of the likelyhood of that out of all those people passing by in the city!
