Microwave Syndrome
Microwave Syndrome, sometimes referred to as Electro-Hypersensitivity (EHS), was first documented as radar became widely used during World War 2. The symptoms reported included:
- headaches
- fatigue
- loss of appetite
- sleepiness
- trouble with concentration
- poor memory
- emotional instability
- changes in cardiovascular function
These symptoms were generally discounted at first, as Western societies believed that EMF fields could not be dangerous if no tissue heating occurred. However, it is known that the Soviets used microwaves as a weapon by beaming them toward the American Embassy in Moscow over a number of years during which many reports of illness were documented.
More recently, the phenomenon has been studied by many researchers and the subject has become quite a popular topic in medical journals as more harmful effects are discovered. Some people appear to be far more likely to show symptoms; perhaps some adaptations can mitigate the effects if exposure is gradual over a period of time, though I have seen no reports of EHS individuals being able to overcome the problem.
