Slashdot Mirror
Cell Towers Not Responsible For Illness
drewmoney notes a BBC article on a major UK study of whether cell towers (or "mobile phone masts" as they are called in the UK) cause illness. The study concluded strongly that symptoms of illness caused by mobile phone masts are all in the mind. People claiming sensitivity to radio emissions showed more symptoms in trials, according to the article, whether signals were being emitted or not. Quoting: "Dozens of people who believed the masts triggered symptoms such as anxiety, nausea and tiredness could not detect if signals were on or off in trials. However, the Environmental Health Perspectives study stressed people were nonetheless suffering 'real symptoms.' Campaign group Mast Sanity said the results were skewed as 12 people in the trials dropped out because of illness."
I heard that, this one time, this guy, got like cooties from a cell tower, true story.
prepare the survey weasels.
I've had a toothache for the last week (seeing the dentist tomorrow alright?) and I've been reading Slashdot every day. Must be Slashdot causing my toothache because my friend, he doesn't read Slashdot and he doesn't have a toothache.
Science ftw.
How we know is more important than what we know.
then the Nokia Wifi Cloud that blankets London would be making everyone that lives there neurotic and irritable.
Oh wait...

OR it was because his mobile phone bills were too high, and I know I can relate to that.
My ism, it's full of beliefs.
afair vodafone has built a cellphone tower in a small german village and the villagians complained for months about headaches and loss of sleep.
then vodafone revealed that the tower wasn't switched on yet.

A random sample, yes. Of people. Who are living today. On Earth.

If a mobile phone mast falls in the forest and no hypochondriacs are there to feel relief, did it really radiate electromagnetic energy?

This just proves that it's the shape of the cellphone towers that causes the headaches, rather than the radio waves they transmit. Those big metal structures are the perfect shape for channeling masses of concentrated "negative vibes".
They cause crop circles, too.
I thought it was insightful, but I didn't have mod points today; I also haven't had my first cup of coffee yet. I never use mod points until I have my first cup of coffee as lack of caffeine hinders my reasoning capabilities. I'm off to find coffee before I post something else like this and find my karma so low I have to dig for it. Be back in an hour to join you fine gents' in todays series of flame wars.
If I mod you up, it doesn't necessarily mean I agree with what you've said, sorry.
Don't stop there -- you may not be aware of this, but there is an enormous fusion reactor in the sky pouring untold terawatts of electromagnetic energy down upon you every day. The existence of this "Sun" is, of course, a closely-guarded secret.
Apparently there's more to this problem than meets the eye.

Funny, I get a headache and anxiety when my wireless connection stops working. Who do I sue?
