I briefly lived across the street from a Cell Phone tower. I lived on Lantern Crest Cove in Lantern Ridge subdivision in Metro Atlanta. The cell tower was just across the neighborhood street from my door. It was a small tower with only one triangular antennae array at the top. It was LOW... much shorter in height than any other tower I have seen. This tower (per GoogleMaps) has now been relocated within the neighborhood to the next street over. I can't tell if it is now on a taller pole (from GoogleMaps.)
Prior to moving to this townhome in Lantern Ridge, I enjoyed spectacular good health. I took no Rx meds... and still don't. I had no chronic conditions... and still don't once I got better after moving away from the cell tower. I was an Aerobics Instructor from age 35 to age 50. I have continued fitness classes multiple times weekly to this day. I am now 66 years old. A lifetime of healthy habits and good genes has blessed me with uncommonly good health... except for my few months spent across the street from a cell tower,
I developed nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, insomnia and night sweats. I felt like a rope was knotted around my stomach. I couldn't eat. I lost 10 pounds... from 125lbs to 115lbs in about 2 months. My tongue became swollen with raised red nodules... looking at it made me think that if the rest of my GI Tract looked like my tongue, then no wonder I had nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It started with the nausea and diarrhea, but by the time I left the home I was vomiting every morning as if I had morning sickness from pregnancy. I was 60 years old and menopausal, so NOT pregnant.
I have never experienced insomnia, but living across from that tower, I was awake with night sweats every night.
The symptoms resolved completely once I moved, although it took a couple months to get back to normal. I only lived there a few months, and stayed with local family a good bit of that time once I realized the issue HAD to be the proximity to the tower. Its been 6-7 years, and I am long since back to my normal state of excellent health, but I will NEVER live close to a tower again. The detrimental health effects are REAL for those sensitive to the radiation. I guess I'm sensitive. Yay, me. My neighbors that I spoke with during my short time on Lantern Crest Cove denied any ill effects. I think I would have eventually died, unless its possible to build up a tolerance to the radiation.
It distresses me to no end that SCHOOLS seem to be a favorite place to put cell towers!! Beeming radiation right by the KIDS all day long!!! Even if they don't experience what I did, HOW can we just assume it's safe??? For the love of God, stop capitulating to the Powers-that-Be who think cell towers on school grounds are a great idea! I swear, sometimes I think they really ARE trying to kill us all!!
