Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is when people feel unwell or uncomfortable due to exposure to electromagnetic fields from things like electronic devices such as cell phones, Wi-Fi, and power lines.
Imagine you have eyes and ears that can sense things that other people can't. Some people feel these waves more deeply than others and they can make them feel unhappy, like when you get an ouchie on your skin. When electromagnetic waves enter their body it can make them feel unwell, like an upset tummy or feeling really tired.
Usually, people use electronic devices without even noticing the waves around because they do not feel anything different. But, for some people, these waves can cause symptoms to pop up. These symptoms can be different for each person like headaches, difficulty sleeping, or a sense of discomfort.
People who experience EHS often have to limit their exposure to electronic devices or spend time in areas with little to no electromagnetic fields. It can be like taking a break after a long day of playing outside when you are tired - this can help them feel better.
In summary, EHS is when some people feel unwell due to electromagnetic fields from electronic devices, and they might need to limit their exposure to these waves to feel better.
