Among scientists, the topic of the harmful impact of Wi-Fi on humans was recently hotly debated, in particular, scientists checked whether a wireless connection could cause allergic reactions.
During the research it was proved that Wi-Fi does not affect the human body, incl. Do not provoke an allergy. This work in this area was stopped, but in the US many residents complained that the Wi-Fi signals do not have a good effect on the health of their or their families, especially complaints of allergic reactions.
Resumption of research scientists forced a lawsuit by one of the Massachusetts families, in which parents sued the school where their son is studying. In the statement, the parents indicated that the child in the school's territory suffers from dizziness, nausea, nosebleeds, itching-all symptoms occurred only when the child was at school, on weekends or on vacation, the boy felt well. Since the doctors could not make an accurate diagnosis, the boy's mother herself determined that her son suffers from an increased sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation emanating from school Wi-Fi. According to the woman, the allergy symptoms began to manifest in the boy after the school installed a more powerful wireless connection system. In the lawsuit, the boy's mother demanded that the school cleaned the wireless connection or, at the very least, reduced the signal strength.
In turn, doctors said that the cause of electromagnetic hypersensitivity may be a neuropathic disorder, and most likely, this kind of violation affects not the child himself, but his parents. The doctors associate the deterioration of the boy's health with other factors that need to be clarified.
This trial forced scientists to conduct a series of repeated experiments that would have proven or denied the safety of Wi-Fi for the human body.
Specialists analyzed more than 40 scientific works, which described cases of allergic reactions to Wi-Fi. According to experts, all cases of allergy are not associated with electromagnetic radiation, but with psychological disorders.
Allergies have become more and more prevalent recently, and not only food products, but also clothing, dust, pollen, etc., can cause this disease. Recently, American specialists have proved that an allergy can arise because of running. Scientists argue that running can provoke a rare form of hives, and the cause of all the vibration. In addition, the allergy can also begin because of riding on a rough road or applause.
Specialists note that certain people have an atypical mutation of genes that provoke viral hives very rare form of allergy. The cause of this disease can be running, loud applause, driving in a car on a rough road and other vibrations - as a result, a temporary rash appears on the skin.
According to experts, this discovery will allow us to better study the mechanisms of allergy development.
