i have a mate who has electro-sensitivity and if he stands under a pylon he feels the electricity going through his teeth and said he gets that feeling like when u put a battery in your mouth all over his gums:eek:

Do a blind test then?
I have heard cases of this and most of them failed the blind test.

I dont have the time tbh considering the fact he doesnt even live in the same country anymore. maybe he was just a compulsive liar but he never lied about anything else over the 10 years i knew him so i had no reason to doubt him? Why is it so hard to beleive anyway......look what happens if you stick a flourescent lightbulb in the ground underneath a pylon:p

I wasn't disputing that your pal had a condition, just that he claims that while walking under or over power lines that he gets the same feeling as a batteries in his mouth...

:rolleyes:

If that was the case, then i hope they are in a non-metallic hole with no electrical devices anywhere to be seen :p

There you go Sherlock Holmes:rolleyes:

Is that meant to prove it exists? :confused:

EHS has no clear diagnostic criteria and there is no scientific basis to link EHS symptoms to EMF exposure. Further, EHS is not a medical diagnosis, nor is it clear that it represents a single medical problem.[1]

In 2005, a systematic review looked at the results of 31 experiments testing the role of electromagnetic fields in causing ES. Each of these experiments exposed people who reported electromagnetic hypersensitivity to genuine and sham electromagnetic fields under single- or double-blind conditions.[2] The review concluded that:
"The symptoms described by 'electromagnetic hypersensitivity' sufferers can be severe and are sometimes disabling. However, it has proved difficult to show under blind conditions that exposure to electromagnetic fields can trigger these symptoms. This suggests that 'electromagnetic hypersensitivity' is unrelated to the presence of electromagnetic fields, although more research into this phenomenon is required."

What a surprise, it falls flat under double blind testing.
