Electromagnetic 'sunburn' from polluted light sources

John Jones
Wondered if others here have suffered from this/heard of this?

This EMF 'sunburn' is something I've had all my life caused by light emitted from various devices.

Long ago, before I knew what was causing it, it used to burn my skin, and my face was covered in blisters - I also started losing my eyesight.

Then, by chance, I read something about light bulbs causing a rash. At first I thought that was absurd, but, desperate for a solution, I decided to try 1 week without CFL bulbs (incandescent only) and my rash and pain cleared up overnight!

I also found that refraining from looking at LCD screens cured my eyesight problems, and I switched back to CRT screens.

I've also never been able to use LED screens either - for the last ten years I've use an old CCFL monitor with the brightness turned down really low. This monitor has been great for the past 10 years or so - completely safe to use.

However in recent years, I've started to get the 'sunburn' from my 'safe' computer monitor around 5-6pm, when I presume there is more electromagnetic activity in the air.

My conclusion is that electromegnetic levels are just going up in general - polluting all the light, everywhere!

Thoughts?

Here's an excerpt from a 2000 review article by Gangi and Johansson, reviewing research works from the nineties about EHS and its underlying mechanism. You should find similarities with what you're describing : "An increasing number of people are claiming that they are hypersensitive to electricity. These patients suffer from cutaneous as well as neurological symptoms when they are near electrical equipment, including VDTs, fluorescent light (especially high-frequent ones), mobile telephones, television or other electrical appliances. The most common complaints are headache, eye and general fatigue, and sensory symptoms such as itching, stinging, pain or burning sensations in the skin (1,2). The patients may also have objective, visible symptoms such as erythema, papules and pustules. Some patients also have symptoms from internal organ systems, such as the heart and the central nervous system. Other symptoms may be breathing problems, stuffy or runny nose and sinus problems (1). At first, the symptoms have an intermittent character and disappear at short-term rest away from the source of the electricity, but for some patients the symptoms become more persistent. In severe cases, people can not, for instance, use VDTs  or artificial light at all (2)."

Johansson also compares EHS with sunburn in his 2007 contribution to the Bioinitiative report (available online, section #7).

Hi,

That is how I found about EMFs.

My face will be flushed - like i have been outdoors - after being at the computer for some time. I thought it was the monitors, the heat coming from them. I switched them, still happening.
I thought, what in the world it could be. I looked at my cordless phone and typed in the search bar: Could my cordless phone be making me sick.. Bingo!

This week has been crazy for me. New devices from one of my neighbor, in the side of my home that did not have shielding.

2 things happened: 1) my stomach was burning and 2) face and mainly my lips were so burned up, like if I spent a week on the sun. It is just like a bad, really bad sunburn.
