A British therapist, Rachel Hinks, was forced to give up her
job and home to move 230 miles to live because she's allergic to Wi-Fi.
According to the Sun UK, the 43-year-old claims to suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity, where the harmful electromagnetic fields from the Wi-Fi signals released from nearby internet hubs and phone masts
Hinks who also suffers from lupus said she started suffering
sharp head pains, dizziness and palpitations two years ago. She said the
symptoms were brought on by Wi-Fi signals from masts and hubs surrounding her
former Chichester home.
Although, the Public Health England says there's no
scientific evidence that electromagnetic fields damage people's health.
In other to avoid more health challenges and to recover from
the illness she has been moved to the Welsh Valleys in a garden shed, far away
from any 'harmful' signals.
She narrates her sad experience, saying: "In Chichester, there are at least 15
masts within a two-mile radius of my house.
"In the past six
months, I have had to sleep in my car, pitch a tent in random bits of woodland
or fields and even slept in a shed to try and escape the electromagnetic fields
I'm utterly exhausted, both physically and emotionally, with trying to find
places I can stay and be well.
"My life now
compared to ten years ago is unrecognisable - I have little social life or
access to people I knew. To try and recover a little and stop the pain I feel,
I have been forced to temporarily come to rural Wales to get away from
electromagnetic fields.
"There are far
fewer people here and fewer masts, and so it is easier to get away from things.
"I have been
staying in a cottage that a friend has up for sale, but I am having to move out
of there and so I have no idea where I can go to next.
"So far, the only
offer I have is an old caravan but that has a broken gas heater and a bucket
for a toilet.
"I am in crisis
right now and haven't found a way of dealing with this alone, so I am trying to
raise some money to allow me to buy possibly a camper van. I can then get away
from Wi-Fi signals when I am feeling ill."
The Sun also reported that Miss Hinks has so far raised over
£1,600 through Go Fund Me which a friend helps her manage, and is hoping to
raise £15,000 to try and secure a more rural home.
