But I did laugh

Yes, I admit it. I laughed. This is the blog of an individual who is convinced that they are electrosensitive. It only has two entries, which are three years apart, probably because of the dangers of being near a computer. *eyeroll*

It’s pretty clear that this guy actually believes (s)he has a problem with electromagnetic fields, and (s)he does seem to be genuinely miserable with fear and perceived health problems. I didn’t start reading the site with the intention of laughing, but I’m just being honest, I couldn’t hold in the chuckles at a few sentences. He may indeed have a health condition, but I’m willing to be it’s a mental health one.

Here are a few excerpts:

At home it was impossible to remove the mast situated 250 meters away.

With the good sleep results obtained out of my home, I decided to built a FARADAY cage around my bed. During day time I wore a special shielded cap. That special shielded cap has an incredible history; one day when I felt dizzy with very strong headache I cover my head with aluminium paper and placed a cap on top; the results were quite incredible. Then I ordered a special cap on INTERNET, since then I keep that cap on my head as long as I can. I even dare to wear my special cap on my job site.

With my FARADAY cage and my special shielded cap slowly I was able to overcome my electro-sensitiveness to electromagnetic waves.

It makes now more than two years that I am obliged to flee my workplace. I am most of the times working from home. It makes more than three years I sleep in a Faraday cage. I avoid all chemicals products from food and cosmetics. I take no more antioxidant or any other potion.

The number of EHS (Electro Hyper Sensitive) people will explode in the coming years (50% of the population?). A lot will suffer from various pains without knowing why. The self made diagnostic will be almost impossible as wireless will be everywhere.

Apparently this person is spending a good portion of their time running from chemicals, wireless devices and that sort of thing. The entire blog is avaliable in French, but I don’t happen to be versed in that language and the machine translations are a bit crude. In any case, the version I’ve posted here should give some idea what these folks are like in terms of mindset.

The picture above is of the Faraday cage this individual built. Too bad there were no pictures of the aluminum foil hat!
