Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity

Woman allergic to WiFi gives up home and job to live in a shed.

Rachel Hinks was forced to live in a shed after she developed violent shakes, burning rashes and headaches, which she claims to be the result of her allergy to WiFi. The 43-year-old therapist claims she suffers from electromagnetic hypersensitivity, where harmful electromagnetic fields from WiFi signals released from nearby internet hubs and phone masts. She now lives in a shack at the bottom of a friend’s garden to stay away from any ‘harmful’ signals.

 

Rachel said: "At first I had mild symptoms, I noticed when I switched to a cordless phone my ear would burn after about ten minutes, and when I tried to use my laptop using WiFi I became very fatigued so I resorted back to using a wired up connection.

 

"I found out later that the mobile phone masts out the back of me had gone up from 2G to 4G and my new neighbour who had moved in was using a BT hub against the wall."

 

"What if I'm one of the first to suffer from these symptoms because of my weak immune system, but in a couple hundred years who knows how much more advanced technology will be and how many more people will be suffering as a result of it?

 

"Then in December 2015 I became suddenly very unwell - violent shaking, severe head pains, disorientation - I couldn't sleep more than a few hours at a time and felt like I was in a meltdown.

 

"I never imagined I'd be in this situation when I have a sweet little home I've rented for 17 years and good neighbours, yet I have now become too sick to live there."
