Woman says she's "allergic" to WiFi, sues, wins...

[mjr]

No, I'm not kidding. She says she's "allergic" to WiFi, and has sued to make it a "recognized medical condition"...

I wasn't able to read the story, but I don't think she can get away from it. I mean, it's everywhere.

Apparently, the story is out of France, and the woman is so "hyper-sensitive" to WiFi, that she has to live on a farm with no electricity.

I have heard of people being affected by WiFi/radio waves/TV signals/cell phones, but usually from callers-in on Coast to Coast AM. As far as I know there's no conclusive proof that these things affect people physically.

I diagnose her as having STD. "Severe Tinfoil Deficiency".

Nah, she probably has a hat...

From aluminum foil
Wear a hat that's foil lined
In case an alien's inclined
To probe her butt or read her mind
Looks a bit peculiar
Seems a little crazy
But someday she'll prove
There's a big conspiracy

With that sort, it's fun to tell them that tinfoil in that sort of dimensions makes a resonant cavity at exactly the frequencies the government/wifi uses, and therefore it's *amplifying* the signal they're trying to block out.

[taxguykarl]

Not nice, Chromatix....funny at least

[wolfie]

Actually, tinfoil hats are a myth to make people THINK they're being protected while still leaving them vulnerable. To actually protect yourself against the government mind control rays you need to


NO CARRIER

I actually can believe that it is possible. Might be a bit out there but I have heard of someone being allergic to food (all food I mean, I believe he had to be IV and tube feed).

Rare, but not impossible.

So she's, um, allergic to radio waves?

I knew a guy who claimed he was allergic to ice. He insisted he was after I told him "You can't be allergic to water."

[Chromatix]

Ah, the cryogenic phase of dihydrogen monoxide. It's so lethal, they use it to preserve lab specimens for future study.

[Dreamstalker]

I have heard of a "water allergy". The skin condition isn't a true histamine reaction, but I would assume it can be fatal if the reaction is internal (this also claims it can be set off by sweat and tears...)

[taxguykarl]

Some of these cases could, in fact, be signs of hysteria. A friend from my Champaign days has pretty much made a career of debunking various medical myths.
