I actually think about this a lot.

The reason? I live next to a relay station. It's literally like 15 feet from my lovely home, high power lines and all...

EM waves were a big deal in the US in the late 80s/early 90s, but their dangers turned out to be wildly exaggerated, did they not? I've heard the whole issue described as a classic case of "junk science."

Why is there a picture of a woman's ass on this thread? :confused: Just in case the IT people at my work want to know...:)
Mr Kobayashi: First, I experienced a sort of overpowering feeling whenever I was in the room with foreigners, not to mention a powerful body odor coming from them. I don't know whether it was a sweat from the heat or a cold sweat, but I remember I was sweating whenever they were around.

I don't know. I recall the hubbub about it in the states and claims of cancer/tumors etc. but I never really had any reason to look into in any depth.

Since I've been living here, I wonder about it though.

It does play hell with my electronics though.

Michael Crichton called it unsubstantiated. But he's a crackpot for his ideas that catastrophic man-made global warming fears are overblown.
