Guest guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks for the information. I know it was something at hotel because after a couple of sleepless nights, I checked out and went elsewhere and could sleep so it was something there. I am a very light sleeper so sleep is more easily disturbed but I learned something from it.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I have occasionally experienced bad wifi sensitivity in a hotel. I was staying at a mold-free, nontoxic Wingate in Alpharetta last week, and within half an hour I noticed wifi symptoms (edgy, metallic taste, and headache). For the 2 days there I had metallic taste, poor sleep, and a migraine. Going out in the car for a ride, it cleared up, back in the hotel it came back. Many other hotels have lesser signals, or maybe the routers aren't as close to the room. I really don't know what it is. I'd say check out a room for 20-30 minutes, just sit in it, before you take it. > > Thanks for the information.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Migraine, metallic taste and feeling edgy can also be pesticides.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I specifically react to certain wifi routers, not sure why. It first happened in a small house I rented for a few weeks. No pesticides at all; the woman who lived there before used only green products. But there was a wifi router in the adjacent apt for the entire house. Then at this hotel--a Wingate in Alpharetta, GA--I highly doubt any pesticides in this upscale hotel, in an area without any bugs (suburban/corporate). I also have milder reactions in some stores. Like Wholefoods in Marietta, GA today. Just a sort of agitation and I can feel pressure in certain places and want to leave. > > Migraine, metallic taste and feeling edgy can also be pesticides.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 This would have had to be some really heavy duty pesticides to keep me up because it kept me up for two nights totally. Under EMF side affects headaches and insomnia are the two top complaints. It's unfortunate that so much pesticide is sprayed. Problem is that if they did not and someone saw a bug, people wouldn't stay there, also restaurants and groceries. Keeping the place ultra clean would work best but they depend on hired help and cannot be sure people they hire will clean the place as if it were their own. I use sticky traps at home in some areas were bugs could enter but one got stuck on a pet once. If it got stuck to their face, it would smother them, horrible death or kids and babies can get in to them. We would probably prefer bugs to pesticides but few other people would. I don't want either. > > Migraine, metallic taste and feeling edgy can also be pesticides.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Ha ha ha, no pesticides at wingate... Im sorry. Really and the roaches are the size of small dogs for those of you not in the south. But really, I did work in that building several times. But I doubt there is anywhere around the whole city where there wont be strong signals. There is wireless stuff EVERYWHERE. ________________________________ From: cocopollyphenol <cocopollyphenol@...> Sent: Sat, June 12, 2010 5:45:07 PM Subject: [] Re: OT: avoiding wifi places I specifically react to certain wifi routers, not sure why.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 The signals are stronger and more numerous in some places than others. Ever hear the commercial " can you hear me now? " There is a big difference in emf's I'm sure in a place that offers free wifi than places that don't. I don't have any wireless things in my home. I'm sure if I had wireless computer there would be higher emf's in my house. I don't use a wireless phone and my cellphone is usually turned off unless I'm using it, which I use very seldom. I have houses on three sides of me but not real close and no other streets close to here. When I'm out though people around me on phones but don't assume the signals are all the same no matter where you are, if you are near a tower, or in a place that provides free wifi. > > Ha ha ha, no pesticides at wingate...

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I'm not doubting the reactions but am curious how to identify it as wifi rather than any of the other myriad EMF sources like wireless phones which have much stronger signals, cell phones, TV or radio towers, even the transformers powering these devices or appliances. If you can tell the difference I suspect it is because of the frequency. Each type and generation of device uses a different frequency band. Go to Antennasearch.com to see how many of what kind of towers are near you. But it won't identify what your neighbor is using for wifi or wireless landline. As for pesticide use there are equally effective techniques known as Integrated Pest Management or IPM. Used to be controversial but more widely accepted now and being strongly pushed by govt agencies.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Carl, Poorly worded subject line. I didn't mean to imply that I could tell signal was from wifi, but rather all the sources you mention. I don't know how I could avoid, while traveling about doing errands, etc, cellphone towers, etc, except to not use them at home, but I can try to avoid wifi places as they are more confined to places that have decided to offer free access to wifi signals, and advertise it or you can tell because people are sitting using their computers there. My sleep is easily affected by many things so to identify them helps me. It will likely affect my decision of where to relocate for retirement or more likely second career as my job is holding me to the Ohio River Valley.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 You worked at the Wingate in Alpharetta? I did not say there were no pesticides. I said I specifically react to wifi in some stores and hotels. Maybe on a subtle level in many areas, but specifically had a migraine and metal taste for two days at the Wingate there; and formerly at a rental in an older cute little four family home in Buckhead, where nobody had sprayed. We're at a Comfort Inn in Marietta with a weak wifi signal and I feel much better, except for the mold. It is screamingly hot in Atlanta, has been since mid April, and it's unbelievably humid, and 99% of hotels and homes have mold. > > Ha ha ha, no pesticides at wingate... Im sorry.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I only know by my reaction. I use an iphone all the time (tho on speakerphone when talking; but also for email) and I don't notice adverse effects (not saying they don't exist, of course, just that I don't notice). I notice in lower EMF places in general--where I can get cellphone coverage, but aren't loaded with towers and microwave dishes, I generally feel better. However, I've had two specific reactions to wifi. First, moved into a small apartment, mostly mold free, unrenovated, in an older four family home in Buckhead section of Atlanta. Good air circulation etc. Within a few days started noticing a metallic taste, a feeling of heeby jeeby reaction to sounds that had a scraping quality, increasing insomnia, a feeling like my eye sockets were being pulled out or pressed on, and total insomnia. It was so bad I was ready to leave and sleep in the street. I just had a feeling it was the wifi router in the apt next door so asked them to turn it off for 24 hours as a test. I felt infinitely better, but still screwed up in the house, so I have a feeling the house had other EMF issues, which the wifi magnified and thus sensitized me. I've read since that some houses have poor old wiring, crossed wiring, whatever, and have EMF fields that are way too high. In addition, there were low slung powerlines all down the street, and I'm not sure if those affected the homes. Having had that terrifying reaction, I then was on the lookout I suppose. I was hyper sensitized to wifi for weeks, and would notice it in large stores and feel foggy and weird and wired. Slowly my body seemed to calm down as we stayed for a while at a hotel in a room that had a weak wifi or nonexistent wifi signal and required ethernet hookup. At the WIngate in Alpharetta, within half an hour of unpacking in the room, I noticed the metallic taste coming back for the first time in months. I also had a nonstop headache except when I left the hotel to drive around to get lunch the next day. I also slept very fitfully. It is getting increasingly hard to avoid wifi, and stronger and stronger routers are being used in hotels, homes, apartment buildings. It seems like another disaster in the offing for sensitive folks. > > I'm not doubting the reactions but am curious how to identify it as wifi rather than any of the other myriad EMF sources like wireless phones which have much stronger signals, cell phones, TV or radio towers, even the transformers powering these devices or appliances. > > If you can tell the difference I suspect it is because of the frequency.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Barb, I understand. And I was responding to others who, if I remember correctly, were discussing reacting differently to different types of wifi. So, unless I'm totally off base here, I'd like to here from them about their experience. Carl Grimes Healthy Habitats LLC ----- Carl, Poorly worded subject line.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Thanks for the additional info and your detective work. Wi-fi routers operate at different frequencies usually in different portions of the gigahertz bands. So different ones could be affecting you differently. If you have any metals in dental fillings or crowns that could also be a factor. Metals in joint replacements can also be involved. The power lines are at 60 Hertz rather than 60,000,000,000 Hertz (gigahertz) and will have a different effect. When really strong the power lines make me very foggy and dizzy. They usually decrease within 2-3 feet unless the house wiring has more than one ground point. Then the field will extend 10-30 feet or so. IThat's when interference patterns are more likely resulting in hot spots and neutral spots lime waves on a lake when a boats speeds through. The problem for me with hotels is they have so many possible sources - pesticides, cleaning products, air freshners, designer scents in the lobby, different food, wiring, wi-fi, air circulation or not, dirty forced air units, vibration - and not all of my reactions are unique for each kind. I was just at one in Albuquerque and had strange dreams until I changed rooms. It was straight across from a microwave tower a block away.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Thanks Carl--any idea where I can educate myself about the different routers? Maybe I can avoid a bad spot that way. I think closeness matters as well, though by the time I was sensitized in that house, even standing outside it or parked outside it I could feel it. One time I had neuralgias all down my leg. That router was a strange type of strong G router, linksys, with three antenna coming off it at angles. I have no idea what was at the Wingate but they claimed the nodes/repeaters were inside the walls. It does matter sometimes which room you get. At some hotels, some rooms have weak reception, perhaps because of interference (heavy walls, or metal). Sometimes you can *ask* for the room with poor wifi (probably a surprise to the front desk). I like hotels where they have both the ethernet and wifi, because sometimes those hotels have " safer " rooms. The Comfort Inn where we were staying, our room had virtually no signal, just ethernet. I really slept a lot better there even with mold. > > Thanks for the additional info and your detective work.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 The best way to find out about routers is at the store or go on-line where they sell them. Then find the link to the technical data. Look for the frequency band (G, N, etc) and signal strength. If you aren't sure about the designations Google the term. Then you can have a better chance at connecting your body responses with the types of routers. As for the claim they are " inside the walls, " that is their way of putting you off. Next time they say that looked surprised and ask them " How on earth can computers pick up the signal if the signal can't get through the walls?

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 well, i have given up on finding safe hotels, traveling back to bay area via santa fe, initially thought we'd stay a week or so, spent lst afternoon visiting rooms to find one that didn't stink of chemicals, found one like that but they are hostile to my dog and we are a block from some kind of cell phone tower, but was too tired to keep looking, next day didn't have the energy to look, spent most of day today looking without success, the chemicals free bed and breakfast that had vacancies smelled musty, etc... and now i am so fed up that i realize it's a lost cause, one b & b operator told me wifi was the most requested amenity of all, people don't want to be " tethered " to a cord...and i realize that the idea of trying to R & R a few days in a fun spot w/my sick kid who won't leave the hotel room basically ruins it, so will get back on the road and head back to bay area to look for " safe housing " which of course doesn't exist...how to find a mold safe home in a place w/neither city nor agricultural or suburban pesticide pollution and away from cell towers/masts and wifi pollution, i do think it is mission impossible, but will still make the effort to find " safer " ....... santa fe does seem to have clean air, it also appears to be growing rapidly and the new construction is of course totally unhealthy particle board adobes...., i was told there is a moratorium on new cell towers here which is good... but, can't find a safe place to stay and look at housing options.... what a depressing world we live in.... sue v >I never thought of that Carl.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 I went to Amazon and put " radiation rescue " in my shopping cart for the future, maybe check the library first before I buy it, but noticed on the cover of book, first statement is: 'have trouble sleeping?'!! This was symptom I suspected as I know there are certain things that can affect my sleep and non of them were present. I also have noticed that trouble sleeping has become a bigger topic in the news. When I first developed insomnia, it was more unusual. There wasn't very many medicines or solutions. I just had to put up with the fatigue. Now there are so many medicines that work for insomnia and so many people take them. It may be this is one of the reasons. Stress causes sleep loss but I think there has always been alot of stress in life, but coming from different things. > > i recently read wireless radiation rescue by kerry crofton, it was an > eye opener...also recommends various meters that can measure rf etc...sue v > > >Thanks Carl--any idea where I can educate myself about the different > >routers?
