You always hear that too much cell phone usage could ruin your brainwaves, but is it really true? According to the Mainichi, more and more people in Japan are suffering from electromagnetic wave hypersensitivity. Here's an account describing one victim's ill fate:
Mutsuo Sano found out he'd developed electromagnetic wave hypersensitivity after undergoing an MRI examination back in 1993.
"The examination went on for 1 hour, 40 minutes and I collapsed as soon as it finished," Sano tells Sunday Mainichi. "My head and chest were searing with a pain that felt something like a burn. I couldn't sleep for three days afterwards."
Sano received painkillers, which provided some relief, but as soon as he stopped taking them, the symptoms would return. He sought help from a dozen hospitals, but was told his pain was all in the mind. Finally, he was told he had electromagnetic wave hypersensitivity. Ever since, he's moved house six times to avoid high-voltage power lines or mobile phone transmission bases. He can't use a computer, or mobile phone, must sit at least 6 meters away from his TV and can't stand for long in front of his fridge.
Too many electronics = bad!
I wonder if that goes for laptops that use satellite communication too.

Any kind of elecro magnetic device held close to your head or body for long periods is bad for you
