This woman can’t leave her house because she’s allergic to WiFi and mobile phones

A woman has been left housebound because of a rare condition that means she is allergic to mobile phones and all WiFi.

Kim De’Atta can rarely go out to see friends and family because electromagnetic waves from modern technology give her migraines, fatigue and even infections.

The former nurse even has to wear a shielded head net on the rare occasions she leaves her home and can only visit places with poor mobile phone reception – putting Starbucks out of the equation.

The debilitating condition has forced her to move home twice due to phone masts being built nearby and she now sleeps under a special impenetrable net.

Fed-up Kim said: “I have not seen friends and family for so long. I have had two visitors for half a day each this year. It’s heart-breaking really.

“The only place I can go is Crewkerne or Lyme Regis as if I go anywhere else I get some serious symptoms.”

Kim claims her problems started when she was 16 and living in south London and she started to become ill when she was near televisions.

It got worse a few years later when she was working as a staff nurse in intensive care and she bought a mobile phone so she could be contacted in an emergency.

But Kim described it as like “a laser going into my brain” every time she put the phone to her head.

She discovered more about electrosensitivity and realised her problems were being caused by waves emitted from mobile phones, televisions, WiFi and electronic devices.

Kim moved to Glastonbury to escape the waves and felt better until a few years later when a mobile phone mast was installed in the town centre.

When the town got 3G signal Kim started to experience breathlessness and heart palpitations and moved again, this time to Chard in Somerset and wears a shielded head net to give her 50 decibels of protection when she goes out.

She added: “Most of the time people think I am mad. It is so difficult because people are not feeling it themselves.

She hopes that speaking out about electrosensitivity will help people understand her unusual condition and be more sympathetic.
