We had a huge case of "stray radiation" case here in Michigan a few years ago. A local farmer sued the electric company, claiming that buried electrical lines were affecting his cows.

He won round one. He got stomped after the utility got a better atty in subsequent rounds.

This is pure bunk.

It has been know for over a century that high-power RF transmissions can have a harmful effect on humans.

Why should the theory that lower power electromagnetic radiation, used more frequently and in closer contact to the brain, could also be dangerous come as any surprise?

OK. maybe we better stop thinking. Since, like the artical says, the brain gives off EMF too.

I'm really trying to decipher your message.

Yes this is true, That's why since electricity became a part of everyday life a century ago the average human lifespan has declined rapidly.

Yes, I'm kidding

If this qualifies as medical science can anyone imagine how high taxes would have to be to pay for a Hillary,Kennedy socialist health care plan.

Perry Como died in 2001, a week before his 89th birthday.

Just what we need more "scientific" studies to give lazy people another unprovable illness to fake in order to sit home and collect a welfare check, free housing,and free narcotics for the imaginary pain it no doubt causes.
Or even worse, another excuse to murder someone.

Naaa. Most people never start thinking.

I remember as a youngster, a cop friend demonstrated his radar gun to us. Putting your hand 3 feet in front of the emitter would result in a warm, tingly feeling on your skin.

Every few years, you hear about a technician or trespasser being "cooked" by a microwave tower's emissions.

I personally have gotten minor RF burns from being too close to an antenna pumping out 1500 watts.

I can easily believe that long-term exposure to EM emissions, even on low power, can be damaging to your health.

I work with C-band, Ku-band, Ka-band Xmission products and my nuts still work. It's my choices for a date that need some careful attention.
