Electrical sensitivity is where the electrical currents, that surround us all the time in our daily lives, effect our health. Electrical sensitivity has been blamed for unexplained skin and eye problems, sleep problems and fatigue, problems thinking, difficulty concentrating and headaches. It is thought to only affect sensitive individuals.Electrical sensitivity has been written about for a long time by forward thinking health writers, and concerned individuals who blame this for their health problems, but is only just starting to be mentioned by the UK government health agencies.
Electrical sensitivity has also been called ElectroSensivity (ES), electrical hypersensitivity, electromagnetic sensitivity, or electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). This shows that it is not a topic published in the mainstream medical journals, as there is not a universally agreed word for it. It also used to be called radiation sickness, which mostly affected people working in the electricity or radar industries.
The number of people who have electrical sensitivity is difficult to estimate.
