American doctors have recorded a new disease – Wi-Fi allergy. Wireless networks, including Wi-Fi, like traditional allergy triggers (pets, pollen, house dust) increasingly cause allergy symptoms: general malaise, runny nose, paroxysmal headaches up to partial blindness, joint pain.
At the moment, doctors are helpless in recognizing and treating this "disease", since large-scale studies on the impact of wireless networks (Wi-Fi) have not yet been conducted. Meanwhile, people who were susceptible to the effects of Wi-Fi found a solution to the problem - they moved to Green Bank - the only city in America where there are no wireless networks. The reason for the lack of Wi-Fi in the city is the location near the city of the world's largest radio telescope for the correct operation of which the absence of wireless networks is necessary. To date, 143 people who were susceptible to the effects of Wi-Fi have already moved to Green Bank. After changing their place of residence, they noted a significant improvement in their health.
It should be noted that the Wi-Fi "epidemic" is not limited to the United States. Similar cases have been recorded in many countries of the European Union, including the UK.
Recently, about 20,000 scientific articles have been published devoted to research into the effects of Wi-Fi on the body. All of them show that Wi-Fi has a negative impact on human health, causing migraines, joint pain, memory loss, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease.
In this regard, many European countries are gradually starting to abandon Wi-Fi in schools and hospitals. And while the WHO has not yet officially recognized the harm of Wi-Fi to the human body, it should be borne in mind that technology does not always make life easier for a person.
