| About Electro HyperSensitivity
Electrical
Oversensitivity or Electro- (Electrical) Hypersensitivity is a fairly new phenomenon,
the first cases and discussions came to public knowledge in the early seventies.
The
first
signs of electrical hypersensitivity are often experienced as a minor irritation
when working with VDTs (Computer monitors, surveillance monitors, common
TV - Television sets). A frequent symptom is that of warmth or a burning
sensation in the face, not unlike a strong sunburn. Some people develop
a reddish skin blemish or rash at the same time. These can also be accompanied
by a tingling sensations in the skin, both facially and/or over other parts
of the body. In addition eye problems can occur. You might get the feeling
that the mucus membranes have dried.
These
initial symptoms must be regarded as a serious first warning! Switch
of the VDT when not in use, cut down time before the VDT, move the VDT
far away from the user, buy a new low emission, grounded, monitor with
a Cu-net embedded into the front glass (shielding glass).
