View Original AbstractMicrowave radiation at 1 mW/cm² disrupted immune responses during life-threatening allergic reactions in guinea pigs.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed guinea pigs to microwave radiation at 1 mW/cm² and found it altered their immune response during severe allergic reactions (anaphylactic shock). The microwaves increased stress hormones like epinephrine and histamine in the blood, with higher levels seen in animals that died from the allergic reactions. This suggests microwave exposure can interfere with the body's ability to handle severe immune responses.
Why This Matters
This early 1993 study reveals a concerning connection between microwave radiation and immune system dysfunction during critical health emergencies. The exposure level of 1 mW/cm² is significant because it falls within the range of what people experience from cell towers and some wireless devices today. What makes this research particularly troubling is that the microwave exposure appeared to worsen outcomes during anaphylactic shock, a life-threatening allergic reaction where every second counts. The fact that animals exposed to microwaves showed higher levels of stress hormones when experiencing severe allergic reactions suggests EMF exposure may compromise our immune system's ability to respond effectively to medical emergencies. While this is just one animal study from three decades ago, it points to a critical area that deserves more research, especially given how much our wireless exposure has increased since 1993.
