What is electrohypersensitivity?
Electrohypersensitivity is the increased sensitivity to the exposure of electromagnetic fields (cell phone towers, mobile phones). Symptoms include headache, fatigue, stress, and skin issues. It is not a medically accepted diagnosis, and it is not clear that it represents a single medical problem.
