See the graphic below illustrating how each expansion of the use of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and each new generation of wireless technology has been accompanied by a new disease.

Back in the early 2000s, George Noory on Coast to Coast AM discussed people allergic to electromagnetic radiation. They had to move far out in the country to escape the electrical grid and couldn't use microwaves. I think they suffered from skin problems, headaches and lethargy if exposed but it's been a long time.

This story stuck with me all these years even though I haven't heard of the phenomenon since. Could there be something to it?

Furthermore, and this is just an anecdote, but in 2017 my area got hit by Hurricane Irma. The first day after the storm, almost the whole power grid was out. I remember sitting in the yard and hearing more bird song than I've ever heard, and the feeling in the air changed. It is hard to describe, but it was more peaceful and "alive" than usual in my crowded suburban neighborhood. Eventually the power came back on and everything returned to normal, but there was definitely a different feeling in the air than usual.
