i remember reading about a study on EHS a few years back which showed
that people suffering from it are so hypersensitive to electromagnetic
radiation that they experience symptoms even when they just *think*
that a wifi router or mobile phone tower is turned on, even when it is
powered-off and disconnected.

so, it's probably about as real as windfarm syndrome. or gluten
intolerance for people without coeliac's disease....all of them
fashionable fad "diseases" with vague symptoms that anyone can claim to
have which allow you to have a whinge and make a fuss and be the center
of attention and demand special treatment whenever you want: "oh no, i
couldn't possibly eat THAT - you'll have to make something especially
for *me* without gluten in it"
