Sick of the Internet? Print
Wednesday, September 02 2015

A Massachusetts boarding school was sued by the parents of one of its students, claiming the school’s enhanced Wi-Fi signal is making their son sick.
 
The unnamed parents sued the central Massachusetts Fay School for $250,000 in damages after their son allegedly suffered headaches, nose bleeds and other symptoms of “electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome” beginning in 2013, shortly after the school activated a stronger wireless signal. In addition to damages, the family wants the school to turn down the signal or go to an Ethernet system.
 
The school countered that tests showed the frequency of their system was a fraction of federal safety limits. According to news reports, the case may be close to a settlement.
