With allergy season in full bloom, many people are keeping a close eye on just how close they come to pollen, mold and other allergens.
This season however, new studies are suggesting that allergies are sprouting up beyond just flowers and plants to also include cell phones, iPods and other technology as a culprit.
Vitals.com, a doctor evaluation site notes that there is a new allergy phenomenon being brought on by the prevalent use of modern technology.
Scientists Agree That EMFs Pose a Threat to Your Health
Tuesday, April 22, 2008 by: Barbara L. Minton (see all articles by this author) Key concepts: EMF, magnetic field and microwave
(NaturalNews) Electricity has become an integral part of our lives, with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) all around us. Electricity certainly makes our lives easier in many ways. Is it possible that electricity is also making our lives shorter?
Most experts agree that some limited exposure to EMFs is not a threat. We can feel reasonably safe using a toaster, for example. The problem comes when we are chronically exposed to large does of EMFs such as encountered when living near power lines or sleeping in the room where the power enters the house. Unfortunately, this type of chronic exposure to EMFs applies to millions of Americans.

Maybe the NCI study is wrong. Maybe the animal studies are wrong. Maybe physics is wrong, and there is some as yet undiscovered mechanism by which these low-energy radiation fields do damage to DNA. How big a cancer problem would exposure to radiation from power lines be? It is a tragedy, obviously, for a child to develop leukemia, although thanks to medical advances over the last fifty years, the disease is now curable in 70 to 80 percent of cases. But from a public health perspective, how big a problem is low-energy electromagnetic radiation from power lines?
Results of a new study find that using a cell phone can be more dangerous to your health than smoking, and can significantly increase your risk of developing brain cancer.
According to the study, radiation omitted from the phone during use is what is so bad for your health and according to Vini Khurana, one of Britains’ top neurosurgeons using mobile phones for more than 10 years can effectively double your risk of developing the cancer.
Reducing Electromagnetic Frequency Exposure May Improve Your Health

(NaturalNews) In September 2007, the EU's European Environment Agency (EEA)1 and the country of Germany2 both issued warnings to their citizens advising them to avoid the use of WiFi and cell phones until further long term studies are conducted, citing fears that the ubiquitous use of wireless technology has the potential to become the next public health disaster on the level of tobacco smoking, asbestos, and lead in automobile gas (as reported by The BioInitiative Working Group3). Israel’s Knesset recently banned the placement of cellular antennas on residential buildings4. According to Canadian Underwriter, Lloyd’s of London is already "preparing for the next big liability action — for personal injury damages based on the use of cell phone technology."5
