Are you a ciber allergic?



Headaches, vomit, nausea and loss of short term memory are only some of the symptoms caused by an unknown and modern affliction that has been disturbing people for some years now, and even though it has not been certified by the World Health Organization, it seems to be here to stay for a long time and turn into a XXI century disease.

The “Wi-Fi allergy”, as it is known, is explained by an electro sensitivity caused by a prolonged exposure to electromagnetic fields but as is has not been worldwide certified, people who suffer from this are restricted to treat only the symptoms and do not joy the medical facilities every ill person should. Some of the testimonies reflect that it starts by being affected by waves emanated from the wireless router, but after a long period of exposure even the TV or anything that’s plugged can cause a reaction such as the already named.

Other of the reasons why it has not been formally considered is because, according to experts’ opinions, this type of exposure reduces considerably the production of serotonin in the brain; serotonin is a natural anti-depressive, so its low production can cause tiredness and sometimes sadness, reason why this electro sensitivity can also be mistaken as stress or depression in some cases.

It is also important to say that this modern disease appears at any stage of life so you better start setting boundaries with your technological gadgets before is too late, don’t you think so?

  1. I think it's very important, as you state, to set some boundaries when using technological gadgets, I also think that this "condition" is more likely to be a neurological condition than an alergy,mostly because it has been proven that electrical and technological gadgets can have this kind of impact on our brains, also we need to realize that today there has been an absurd increase in the use of this artefacts, they are everywhere and they are used by everyone indiscriminately and irresponsibly. I would certinly like to read more about this topic, being affected by alergies the way I am, but I most definetely believe that this is probably a neurological problem.
