  This study accounted for weather, and found an increased rate of over 20 percent in heart attacks (MI). doi.org/10.1007/s00484-013-0660-0 That is massive, akin to the increase you’d expect during an environmental catastrophe, such as a severe heatwave or something.

  The narrative isn’t so much the static magnetic field but fluctuating/time varying magnetic fields induced on Earth during magnetic storms. When a magnetic field changes it can induce currents in tissues. It’s proportional to both the strength of the field and the rate of change. During an extreme geomagnetic storm, the rate of change can be up to 500 nanoteslas per minute.

  Mine did, too, then I looked into it and it does seem there’s a lot of research concluding that fluctuations in the Earth’s magnetic field during geomagnetic storms is causing more heart attacks, nervous system dysregulation, etc. magneticstorms.co/health/heart but I’m not as well versed in science compared to many of the people on Lemmy.

  I thought so, too, but it does seem like a lot of seemingly reputable sources are talking about it as if it’s common knowledge now… magneticstorms.co/health/heart and yeah, good point! I think there are sites where you can track space weather, but if someone’s a paramedic I’d hope they’d be tracking patients more than space weather…

• How do the people claiming the X2 causes brain bleeds explain why every other rollercoaster isn't also causing fatal brain bleeds?
