Millions Believe They Suffer From Electrosensitivity Syndrome

Many readers are probably unfamiliar with electrosensitivity syndrome, and happily so.The somewhat mysterious medical condition, allegedly caused by electromagnetic radiation from cell phones and other devices, is said to plague millions of people, besetting them with headaches, depression, nausea, rashes and other problems.  Is it real? What is "real"? The Los Angeles Times reports on one study of 48 self-described "electrosensitive" people and 132
"non-sensitive" people published online in January in the journal
Environmental Health Perspectives. That study found that all of the subjects had  the same reaction to microwave radiation: none at all. The paper reports that the researchers speculated that a fear of EMFs — and not any physical issues — might be the root cause of electrosensitivity.Want a more sensitive
