If skeptics flippantly criticize people who claim to be electrosensitive as \u201cit is all in their head\u201d, seeing animals that are reacting to smart meters and are sensitive to radio frequency and electromagnetic radiation removes the placebo effect. \u00a0With this particular anecdote, there appears to be a clear case of cause and effect. \u00a0More anecdotes and documented case reports need to be collected to see if this is a clear pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the news article and the letter that this woman sent to her utility company, \u00a0she states \u201cOne of my dogs awoke at the same time, wandering the hallways whining and crying. This dog refuses to sleep inside at night now, as the pulsed radiation also makes him sick. This dog had slept at the foot of my bed since the day I brought him home until the night the smart meter was installed. I have numerous friends and family who will testify to this, if called to do so.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As I began to research this subject, I came across a wealth of information on the potential negative health effects of smart meters on all beings. \u00a0Apparently this technology is being forced upon us despite the World Health Organizations acknowledgement that this type of electromagnetic radiation may be carcinogenic. The IARC designation is: \u201cpossibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B)\u201d(\u00a0<cite><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iarc.fr\/en\/media-centre\/pr\/2011\/pdfs\/pr208_E.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">www.<strong>iarc<\/strong>.fr\/en\/media-centre\/pr\/<strong>2011<\/strong>\/pdfs\/pr208_E.pdf<\/span><\/a>).<\/cite><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So it appears that we are all being exposed to a new potential carcinogen bombarding us daily in our homes due to these smart meters. \u00a0The farther down the rabbit hole one looks into this issue, one realizes the amount that huge financial and political interests are behind this agenda. \u00a0There are other significant concerns regarding privacy and increased costs to everyday individuals in addition to the potentially significant health effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Some people dismiss the health effects and say that we are exposed to so much electromagnetic pollution already, what is one more \u201csmall exposure\u201d. \u00a0Apparently though, it seems that like with so many challenges to our immune system and general health, \u00a0the proverbial \u201cthe straw that broke the camels back\u201d cliche really is appropriate. \u00a0Our bodies can just take so much exposure and then once the exposure is too much and we begin to react, there is no turning back. \u00a0This could possibly be the tipping point for many beings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Reviewing all the concerns regarding smart meters is beyond the scope of this post, so I am attaching numerous links below that concerned individuals have referred to me. \u00a0I highly suggest you review them and educate yourself. \u00a0If not for your own health, at least for your kindred spirits health! \u00a0We need to become more aware of all the various environmental health issues that all beings are being exposed to at this moment. This is my humble effort to help educate all of my blog followers. \u00a0Below are links on how smart meters are impacting on animal health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Please email me of any side effects from smart meters that you have had first hand experience with, with your animal friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2739\/4348931263_e2aa7c4815.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>East County Woman and Pet Sick, Begging for Help<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Posted on August 30, 2011 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lamesa.patch.com\/blog_posts\/smart-meter-nightmare-3-east-county-woman-and-pet-sick-begging-for-help\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">http:\/\/lamesa.patch.com\/blog_posts\/smart-meter-nightmare-3-east-county-woman-and-pet-sick-begging-for-help<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Owner writes :\u00a0 <strong>&#8221; One of my dogs awoke at the same time, wandering the hallways whining and crying<\/strong>. <strong>This dog refuses to sleep inside at night now, as the pulsed radiation also makes him sick.
