East Coast Drive producer, Rory Petzer opens up about his allergies
Updated | By Rory Petzer
Could this be the strangest allergy you’ve ever heard of?
This is probably the most strangest allergy you’ll ever hear about but it actually does exist.
I recently came across a story about a lady by the name of a 43-year-old Rachel Hinks who suffers from a condition called electromagnetic hypersensitivity. She claims that she is allergic to WiFi signals.
Rachel was forced to move out of her home because the signals were apparently causing her to experience head pains and even disorientation.
I can completely relate to this as I knows this condition very well as I also suffer from a WiFi allergy.
It happens every now and then when I enter a room or building where the WiFi is secured by a password. As soon as I realise I cannot connect to it, I start to hyperventilate and a rash starts forming on my neck. I start sweating and I struggle to talk properly.
I often need to leave a building if the WiFi is secured which prevents me from accessing it.
It’s not something you want to see. As soon as I lose connection on my phone, the sweating starts and then the horrible rash.
I only frequent establishments that have open WiFi or those willing to share their password.
Do you have any strange allergies? Leave your comments below.
