Is is possible to be 'sensitive' to electricity?

Question

ie. electrosensitivity?

Answer 1

In my business, I actually had some one call me that was very sensitive. They are very sensitive to Electromagnetic waves. They can not live under High Tension Power lines because their skin actually crawls. Even being on a phone is very difficult. They have to use Speaker Phones. It is a real issue, but for many years most people thought they were nuts, but the reality is there skin is so sensitive. You an I can live in this type of environment, but they can not. I actually sell a product they need to help them isolate from the phone line. There is another product on the Market that is also useful for them and it is in a Spray can that sprays a nickle shield inside enclosures of electronic devices that will help minimize the EMF and EMI.

Symptoms Reported by Cell Phone Users

59 Categories of EMF Effects

Descriptions of EMS Symptoms
Various symptoms that are similar to traditional diagnosis, such as Fibromyalgia,
but are increasingly being proven to be EMF related when compared
as a cluster of symptoms that point to Electromagnetic Sensitivity.


This list of symptoms was compiled from people who live near Cell Phone Towers
and these people do not use cell phones. Cell phone users also experience this but may not realise it.
This is important for cell phone users to review.

HEARING
Often people age and loose their hearing, some have a ringing in their ears from past activities or occupations, such as military or loud music. World wide there has been reports of strange ringing, but only occurring in particular locations at particular times. In other cases at all times. Not every person hears it but for many that do, they hear it day and night.
The ear can also become very warm and itchy during strong exposures of emf. ( Often the face will be red at the same time)

HEADACHES / PRESSURE
IN the last few years headaches have been more and more common. Often the headache will be accompanied by eye problems and memory problems as listed below, but the key thing that shows that the headache is not a normal headache is the length of time it lasts. It can last for a brief minute and then go away or it can last for hours and hours. This is because the cellular coverage varies depending on the location and number of cellular calls being made. For instance if you were driving and a sudden headache came on, then you are likely near a current cell phone call. If the headache changes and quickly disappears you are likely moving away from the problem, driving away from the cell phone or busy area. If you are at home and this happens, you are likely near a road with many cars that use cell phones at for instance rush hour.

Answer 2

I am not sure, but I have a relative who has an inflamed nerve in her face, that has caused her to be extra senstive to electricity. It causes him tremendous pain such that he is immobilized, and he cannot speak or see. It is a rare condition, and requires brain surgery. I don't know the name of such a condition.

Answer 3

'They' say their is a link between brain cancer and cell phones...I would call that sensitive.

With a little effort, anyone can learn how to close their eyes and ears, yet feel someone approaching...what one is feeling is electricity. That sense can be improved...increased sensitivity.

Answer 4

Well, my arms get pain like hell especially during cold and raining, ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!after carrying weight because i got electricity shocked.
