Symptoms

Every ElectroSensitive person reacts to different sources of electricity with their own unique symptoms.


  Symptoms


The most accurate data currently available is based on more than 400 letters which were sent to RALF (Council For Life Work Research) in Sweden by ElectroSensitive people themselves explaining about their condition. The book, Black On White, statistically analyzed these symptoms.

 Much more than physical symptoms

The effects on a sufferers life, particularly those who are hyper-sensitive, can be huge, and the problems faced aren't just those of physical symptoms. Many become socially excluded and are forced into quitting or changing jobs - to shield themselves from the bombardment of electromagnetic pollution which swamps the modernized world. Depression, financial hardship and a lack of belief & support from friends, colleagues, doctors and even sometimes family, are problems which many ES sufferers have to deal with
