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.
