Louise Campbell says sensitivity to wireless electronic devices makes it difficult to endure things as simple as a two-hour ferry ride.
While debate rages on over the effects of wireless technology on human health, those who claim a hypersensitivity to electromagnetism have called on B.C. Ferries to provide options to limit their exposure.
Louise Campbell of Nanoose Bay says her sensitivity to wireless devices can make a ferry ride to the Mainland a nightmare.
"For me, my day is thinking about how long I can spend in the mall, because there's Wi-Fi in the mall. If I'm going to a friend's house, I have to ask them to turn the Wi-Fi off," she said.
Campbell claims her condition causes her to become lightheaded when exposed to wireless devices.
A two-hour trip into the city can leave her fatigued for the rest of the day. Campbell avoids restaurants, coffee shops, movie theatres and anywhere she expects exposure.
The situation impelled Campbell to call on B.C. Ferries to provide a way to limit exposure to the ship's wireless technology while on voyages to the Mainland.
She is not the first to make the request, said B.C. Ferries spokeswoman Deborah Marshall. Marshall advised people like Campbell to reach out to the customer care department.
"There are some areas on the ship that the signals are quite weak . . . for example, the car decks," she said.
Comment: Monsanto's executive vice president of sustainability is correct in his statements, that 'glyphosate has a long track record and has been extensively studied' the results of extensive study however are not what Monsanto wants to hear or share with the wider public!
