A teenage schoolgirl was found hanging from a tree after she began suffering from an allergic reaction to WiFi, an inquest has heard.


Tragic Jenny Fry was left with crippling headaches, tiredness and bladder problems brought on by electro-hypersensitivity (EHS).


An inquest into her death heard how the 15-year-old's mum Debra said her symptoms were caused because she was allergic to wireless internet connections at her school.


Jenny's body was found hanging from a tree at Brooke Woods, near her home in Chadlington, Oxon., at 4.20pm on June 11.


Earlier in the day she had texted a friend telling her she was not going to school that day.

My condolences.

 

However I do not believe that wifi was the cause of her health issues.

 

Based on my basic physics knowledge and from what i have studied and worked on in communications engineering I find it hard to believe. Open to being proven wrong if anybody knows of any contrary data...

Very sad but I call bullshit.... If she was allergic to WiFi then she would have many an issue with natural background EMS from space.

suffering from EHS sounds horrible...

Typical Mirror shit, posting opinion as fact.

She was never officially diagnosed, never even saw a doctor. Sounds like something else was going on, maybe she was being bullied or did something stupid which she thought was gonna come out.

Either way it's only her mother's word on the Wi-Fi sensitivity which makes zero sense as it's literally impossible to go anywhere and not be in range of some kind of wireless technology, BT Open Zone covers over 90% of the country now. Does she honestly believe there's certain classrooms that are not covered by the schools WiFi network? Maybe she was escaping from someone and not something.

Still tragic though.

Yeah, rare reaction. And I'm allergic to space. -_-

 

It must be tragic for the family but this is just bullshit. You might as well as be dead because of background radiation, and EMS (electro-magnetic spectrum.) That shits everywhere.

Brah, do you even Java?

Am I the only one who was going to make a 'high' joke after looking at the time of death...?

This can't be due solely due to the EHS, there has to be another factor. Nobody kills themselves over an allergy, and it's not even technically an allergy, it's a sensitivity. 

 

Also, quote from source:

 

 

She said: "Jenny was getting ill and so was I. I did some research and found how dangerous WiFi could be so I had it taken out of the house

 

 

"She would not see a doctor but was seeing a counsellor at school who was helping her."

 

Because everyone who has access to google is a medical expert. The EHS was never medically validated - absolutely zero doctors involved. There has to be another factor, and I think the parents are just unwilling to accept that. 

I am conducting some polls regarding your opinion of large technology companies. I would appreciate your response.

I'm using this data to judge this site's biases so people can post in a more objective way.

There's no real evidence "electro-hypersensitivity" is a thing. After reading the article it seems it's just parents (understandably) clutching at straws.

"On June 11th" how old is this article? Also seems really far fetched.

She was never officially diagnosed because there is no official diagnosis, because EHS doesn't exist.

 

I mean, maybe it could, someday, maybe? It's speculation at this point. There are no scientific or medical studies showing EHS is anything other than psychological fear of technology.

The article itself is new.

 

It's in the Mirror though, a crappy tabloid newspaper in the UK. Which is utter trash and will print any old shit.

Tragic case indeed. however if they had taken her to a shrink or a neurologist, they would have found the real cause.

 

EHS is bullshit. There is no measurable biological or physiological proof of EMR actually affecting humans.

Oh it absolutely could theoretically. Go climb a tower and stand right in front of a terrestrial microwave point-to-point communications link for extended periods and you are going to get cancer from the radiation eventually.

 

But things like that use high transmission power compared to your typical wifi access point. And if we assume the radiation disperses uniformly over space then the amount of radiation actually hitting people is exponentially lower because of the inverse square law. Basically as you move away from the radiation source (even a few inches) the amount of radiation actually hitting you becomes exponentially lower. So even if people want to worry about this they should then be more concerned about mobile phones than about wifi zones.
