A group of central Ontario parents is demanding their children's schools turn off wireless internet before they head back to school next month, fearing the technology is making the kids sick.
Some parents in the Barrie, Ont., area say their children are showing a host of symptoms, ranging from headaches to dizziness and nausea and even racing heart rates.
They believe the Wi-Fi setup in their kids' elementary schools may be the problem.
The parents complain they can't get the Simcoe County school board or anyone else to take their concerns seriously, even though the children's symptoms all disappear on weekends when they aren't in school.
"Parents are getting together and realizing this is the pattern," said Rodney Palmer of the Simcoe County Safe School Committee.

He’s got the important chin strap. Stops rays reflected off the ground and up into your brain through the soft palate.
It’s the old inverse square law- double the distance from the source and your exposure is reduced by 75%. Yes, radio waves in the band used by WiFi an mobile phones can be harmful, but if you’re close enough to be harmed you’ll jump away because of the heat. In the case of WiFi routers, you would have to be within a couple of inches from the transmitter to feel any effect at all.
But they can still go up your nose. I hate when that happens.
>> Why not?
Dain bramage, I guess.
It’s affected the quality of my opinions, although thankfully it hasn’t surpressed my willingness to express them.
But don’t forget I’m a victim. Make fun of my handicap and I’ll sue you into the stone age!
Or is that “bomb you into the stone age”... Dang. I don’t remember.
We deal with this at work, some is imagined like when a new unit is brought on line and has a harmless but different smell, it only take one person to start a panic, but sometimes it's real like when a bus stop was changed and the bus exhaust was being picked up by an air handler.
I think you meant “sue you down to your skivvies”
Or was it “bomb you down to your skivvies?”
Aw heck. It’s all water under the dam now anyways.
It's just the deterioration of the wiring insulation in the computers & monitors once they exceed 4 years of use, being circulated through out the school building.
I used to have illnesses that magically healed as soon as school was over too. Wi-Fi had not been invented then.
There you go with those negative waves again man!
These parents are ignorant fools! Don’t they know they can protect their kids from these harmful rays with simple tin foil hats? Always available in a variety of popular sizes at their nearest head shop.
Well, the wi-fi might be making the kids sick because they don’t get to go outside and get some sunshine, fresh air and natural vitamin d.
Hmmmm. They might be on to something. It could definitely account for why I’ve been feeling so peckish lately. I’m pretty sure I’ve got lots o’ then thar wifi rays flying about my house. Why I can hardly keep my vittles down lately.
Okay, how about all the paranoid people pack up all their WiFi routers, all their cell phones, and iPhones, and send them to me? Then, go live with the Amish; you'll be better off spiritually for it, and there'll be no pesky radio waves. Well, except the ones that pound you every day from the sun and stars. Well, you can always live in a hole in the ground. But, uh oh, now you've increased your exposure to background radiation, from thorium and radon in the soil. Well, you can always line the inside of your hole with wood. Oh, sorry, I forgot, wood has radioactive carbon-14 in it, so you'll get pounded with neutrons. Well, you can always kill yourself, and just get it over with.
Give me a break, people. WiFi is hazardous? I think not.
There may be people who are more sensitive to such things than others. Maybe it has to do with triangulation, or the combination of waves to form a stronger wave (think rogue waves in the ocean, which come out of nowhere and can sink cargo ships). I just know what I've felt, when I've felt it, and where.
Individual sensitivities vary, I'm sure. I have headaches almost every day, but never thought to blame the mosquito tones, since at my age I don't usually hear them.
Check here to see just the number of satellites beaming power at you, and each satellite may have upwards of 24 to 36 transmitters wacking it at you:
Hint: Don't stand next to, or look at, your home microwave when it is operating. I took a "sniffer" home from the lab one time and checked mine....it was leaking like hell from a slightly misaligned door. Be safe, hide in your basement, hehe.
