Over 1 in 10 Complain About Cell Sickness

Though mobile operators and governments have claimed cell phones don’t emit enough microwaves harm people, sensitive Koreans are feeling their negative effects, reports The Korea Times.

"According to a survey by Rep. Suh Hae-suk at the governing Uri Party, 10.9 percent of 1,034 respondents said that they felt physical disorders due to cell phone usage.

As for the most common symptoms, 67 complained about a brief deafness and 59 suffered from headaches. Forty-six felt a sudden paroxysm of tiredness and 29 couldn’t concentrate.

... In this climate, Suh urged the government to come up with measures geared toward reducing risks of microwaves stemming from mobile handsets."
