Anyone can be sensitive to anything. I am sensitive to fluorescent lighting , and it causes me to have seizures, where it is in abundance.
There have been many reports of people sensitive to the smart meters.
She is not the only one.

"Reports" are just that, reports. Anecdotal information like that doesn't establish anything about actual sensitivity. Some people really are sensitive to certain things, as you apparently are, others actually are not, but believe that they are, or want others to believe that they are, especially if there's a monetary incentive to showing the "sensitivity".

Monetary incentive and/or just plain old attention seekers.

I don't get seizures from fluorescent lighting, but I do get really sleepy. Go away mercury glow!!

I thought EU nations did something to people's houses with wireless allergy or whatever.

I personally think she is full of it, possibly high. The laws of physics totally preclude the RF frequencies from smart meters from being ionizing. Nobody seems to claim to get sick from Wi-Fi. If I were APS I would sue her for everything she's got and permanently shut off her power.
A valid link would be greatly appreciated.

I know right, like those idiots who thought the world was round. ha ha

I guess the high ones got the last laugh on that one. ha ha

I've learned at my old age to never say never.

Lead use to be problem free as well. I guess the crazies won that one. Put mercury on it, it will heal it right up! No problems.

They might not know for sure if it does but either do you.

Statistics show we have always been in denial, about most things. I'm not sure if this is true, but I will certainly not put it out of the realm of possibilities.
Maybe in 50 years there will be funny articles about how we thought x rays and radio waves did nothing but help us out.
My grand kids will be like, "how did you not know that" ha ha ha

They have had Radio devices since the 1930s , really no issues with the smaller ones....i think this women is making it up considering that everything we use on a daily basis has Radio waves coming from it. Maybe its her TV or Microwave , or Cell Phone which she probably uses 8hrs a day...
