I agree with the validity of what you’re saying, but usually for patients who are insistent that they suffer from this, the recommendation is to move to this area:

Wi-Fi Sickness? Bruh, where on this planet are you not going to be surrounded by it? There’s satellite linked internet projecting Wi-Fi to rural areas as we type.
You can go tor wh tallest mountain on this planet away for everything and you might just be giving yourself a better signal to Starlink.
Wi-Fi Sickness I looked it up, it’s mostly idiopathic and it’s not a scientifically valid sickness. It’s oddly enough more attributed to negative expectations and thinking that Wi-Fi is more harmful than it is and can give the brain a preconceived notion, that messes with perception of danger and that can cause anxiety WHICH causes the feeling of feeling sick.
So basically, it’s not real and the person needs therapy and the person giving in to the paranoid/anxious delusion of Wi-Fi sickness should put their parenting pride aside and take them to a therapist.

Where i usef to work was a sizable grocery store and i would often go and get my lunch from there. It was also home of a pretty weird cult like religious group. They weren’t super popular because tgey would always buy bulk groceries to rush hour times and never wated their things “lasered” so, scanned. This is dumb enough when you think about it for more than a second, but they have enough time to think about the fact that their things don’t just get “lasered” by the cashier.
Another thing i whitenessed once was when they set up a new mobile phone antenna where i live. A lot of old people complained about it the moment construction started. When the date came around where they turned it on, i woke up and my signal was still shit. A lot of people wrote angry letters that they now have migraines because of the antenna and the mobile company responded basically with: well that sucks to hear, but because of technical difficulties, we had to push the date up another month, but we hope your migraine gets better.

The thing with bar codes is that some people think they are the mark of the beast. It was a lot more popular when they were new technology

There’s a 5G antenna on top of a grocery mart and there’s one at the top of a trail. The one at the top of the trail used to be a trail frequented by elderly people going on health walks and walking their dogs. I hardly see any elderly people on that trail, people walk their dogs and take their kids up there but the elderly people aren’t going up there anymore.
That one if you go near it because you can walk right up to it, it does make your head ring and there’s even a sign that warns people about the high frequency, so there’s something to it because I mean I can’t sit in my living room on humid days because the signal from my router screeches to me and my fiance can’t hear it. I’ve gotten nauseated before from signals, it’s just not scientifically valid.
I can understand it but I can’t approve of the actual scientific notion that it’s real because on those days, if I just relax it goes away.

So while there is a risk associated with resting your nuts directly on certain very high power radio transmitters, the noise and nausea are something different. Without getting pedantic, electricity and magnesium basically cause each other and sometimes it lines up with resonant frequencies in a device and cause it to physically vibrate in an audible way. This is why electronic devices with no moving parts can hum. This leads into how some sound can mess with people, sometimes even when they can’t hear it (infra sounds from data centers and such). I have experienced this too, most memorably when I went to a restaurant with my then girlfriend and her family. One of the tvs was whistling really loudly but at a pitch so high nobody else could hear it. She and I could clearly hear dog whistles and she was practically crying by the time we convinced her dad to go to a different place. I felt like there was an ice pick getting screwed into my head. People associate the device with the discomfort and don’t recognize the actual mechanism behind it.

Immediately made me think of the dumbass who touched the wire at a high voltage power plant.

Even if it’s “just” placebo, that doesn’t mean it’s not real. Placebo effects are very real.

What’s funny is that if you look up “radio sickness” there’s nothing. DDG literally returns nothing. They couch their beliefs in terms associated with modern tech. It’s not 5,000,000hz radio waves, it’s 5G Wifi!

They just have such a refined radio palate that they can tell the difference between natural background solar and cosmic radiation versus the paltry radiation from an artificial source

idiopathic = a disease spread by idiots?
lenabee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 hours ago
Idiopathic means the source of the condition is unknown. Seen commonly attached to scoliosis diagnoses. Similar root words, though.
