My husband and I are among those who must wear stealth EMF-blocking hats during air travel. Without them, we become severely fatigued, experience brain fog, and are much more susceptible to colds, influenza, and similar illnesses. My husband travels frequently for work and must shield himself; otherwise, he is susceptible to the same effects which impede his work and health.

In hotels, Airbnbs, and on cruise ships, sleep is often disrupted when we sleep near the electrical outlets typically placed by the headboard or head of the bed. We therefore travel with aluminum foil and tape so we can shield ourselves. This necessity is not widely recognized but again, effects can be felt without it.

Sleeping near a Wi-Fi router, a utility smart meter on an exterior wall, or similar sources produces the same symptoms. We must also avoid sleeping near our smartphones at night.

As RV snowbirds, we have had to forgo lots near cell towers, WiFi routers or electrical lines, because proximity to them can make us ill.

Shielding ourselves in this way is an unwelcome task that takes considerable time and energy, but the alternative has been poor health. I often carry a GQ Tri-Field EMF Radiation Detector to corroborate our experience. As someone who has lived with chronic illness for twenty years, I am encouraged that you are taking this seriously.
