  • A British therapist was forced to give up her job and home to live in a shed because she's allergic1 to WiFi.

    英国一名理疗师因对无线网络(WiFi)过敏,不得不放弃她的工作和住所,搬进棚屋生活。

    Rachel Hinks claims to suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity. To escape the "harmful" signals released from nearby internet hubs and phone masts, the 43-year-old was forced to move into a shack2 at the bottom of a pal's garden.

    这名名叫蕾切尔·欣克斯的女子声称患上了电磁过敏症。为了躲避附近网络热点和手机信号塔释放的“有害”信号,现年43岁的欣克斯只好搬到朋友花园下的棚屋栖身。

    Every day she drives back to home so she can feed the cat and take her outside to give her company, re-exposing herself to the signals that make her poorly.

    不过每天她还是要开车回家,因为她要去喂猫、陪着猫咪出去,这样她不得不再次暴露在令自己身体不舒服的信号中。

    "At first I had mild symptoms, I noticed when I switched to a cordless phone my ear would burn, and when I tried to use my laptop using WiFi I became very fatigued3 so I resorted back to using a wired up connection," Hinks said.

    欣克斯说:“起初我的症状比较轻微,我发现每当我切换到无绳电话时,耳朵就会灼痛。而且每当我试图通过WiFi使用笔记本电脑时,就会感到非常疲倦,因此只好通过插线上网。”

    "Then in December 2015 I became suddenly very unwell - violent shaking, severe head pains, burning rashes - I couldn't sleep more than a few hours at a time and felt like I was in a meltdown."

    “到了2015年12月,我突然感觉非常难受——剧烈颤抖、头疼欲裂、出灼痛的皮疹——每次睡觉不能超过几个小时,感觉快要崩溃了。”

    But electromagnetic hypersensitivity is not currently a recognized diagnosis4 and the World Health Organisation5 says there is "no scientific basis" to link Hinks' symptoms to the emissions6 from electromagnetic fields.

    然而目前电磁过敏症尚没有作为一种病症被承认。世界卫生组织称,“尚无科学根据”能将欣克丝的症状与电磁场的释放关联在一起。
