According to this Telegraph article UK boffins are finally going to start research into the issue of ‘electricity sickness’. Basically where people complain of ultra sensitivity to EMF (electro-magnetic field) radiation, as emitted by just about everything that is powered. Mmm…
Scientists and health advisers are taking the claims of people who say electricity makes them ill seriously for the first time. The National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) is carrying out a review of existing scientific studies into “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” (EHS)…Some researchers believe a proportion of the population suffers ill health, with symptoms including fatigue, severe headaches and skin problems, because of exposure to electromagnetic fields…The Swedish government, which recognised EHS as a physical impairment in 2000, calculates that 3.1 per cent of its population – 200,000 people – suffer from the condition.
