Is Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity hereditary?

Here you can see if Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?

Is Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity hereditary?

Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) is a condition characterized by various symptoms that individuals claim to experience when exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted by electronic devices, power lines, and other sources. While some people believe that EHS may have a hereditary component, scientific research has not yet provided conclusive evidence to support this claim.

Several studies have been conducted to investigate the potential genetic factors associated with EHS. However, the results have been inconclusive and contradictory, making it difficult to establish a clear link between genetics and the development of EHS.

One study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives examined the prevalence of EHS among twins to determine if there was a genetic component. The researchers found that the concordance rate for EHS was not significantly higher among identical twins (who share 100% of their genes) compared to fraternal twins (who share approximately 50% of their genes). This suggests that genetic factors may not play a major role in the development of EHS.

Another study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research investigated the association between EHS and specific genetic variations. The researchers analyzed the DNA of individuals with EHS and compared it to a control group without EHS. They found no significant differences in the genetic variations between the two groups, indicating that specific genetic factors may not be strongly linked to EHS.

While these studies suggest that EHS may not be directly inherited, it is important to note that genetics can influence an individual's susceptibility to certain environmental factors. For example, some people may have a genetic predisposition to developing sensitivities or allergies, which could potentially increase their likelihood of experiencing symptoms related to EHS.

Environmental factors, such as exposure to EMFs, are believed to play a significant role in the development of EHS. The symptoms reported by individuals with EHS are often subjective and can vary widely, making it challenging to establish a clear cause-and-effect relationship between EMF exposure and symptoms. Additionally, psychological factors, such as anxiety and stress, may also contribute to the perception and severity of symptoms.

It is worth noting that the World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes EHS as a real condition, but states that the symptoms are non-specific and can be attributed to various other factors. The WHO also highlights the importance of further research to better understand the condition and its potential causes.

In conclusion, while there is currently no conclusive evidence to support the hereditary nature of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity, research in this area is ongoing. It is likely that a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors contribute to the development and experience of EHS symptoms. As our understanding of EHS continues to evolve, further research is needed to provide a more comprehensive understanding of this condition.

I don't think so. I think it is acquired via long time exposure to EMF

No, but you might enherit some heavy metals or toxins from Your mother, and by that way maybe Your risk might be higher. Or yoy might learn bad food or technology habits from Your family which increase your risk. Or You might be infected with parasites from your family, and by having parasites theres a risk that your risk is higher.

Me baso en mi respuesta a un extracto de una reciente sentencia del Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Aragón (región española) al que se le reconoce EHS como ACCIDENTE LABORAL: ...."trabajadores especialmente predispuestos pueden resultar afectados por niveles de exposición inferiores de los que recoge la normativa que se basan en los estudios de afectación de la población, tomando como valores medios y sin contemplar PERSONAS ESPECIALMENTE SENSIBLES

I think it is likely very strongly correlated with genetics. Neanderthals may well have parted Africa 1 000 000 years ago. They are not a different species to Cro magnum. That is a racist myth. It takes 4 million years to become un-interbreadable. Probably 2 million years ago our common ancestor had white skin and was hairy. We developed black skin when we lost our hairs. In equatorial sun with sun watts at 1000W/m/m we had UV penetrations that were deep enough to need deep melanin and surface melanin shielding of skin. As Neanderthals went north and settled in Europe they lost the need for deep melanin as they was not any where near as much UV watts that penetrated deep. Because of much more available water, sweating in hot weather became an adequate way to cool and short nm sunshine. Sweat is great at shorting rads. Melanin is also the most conductive organic substance known. More expensive than gold too. Melanin production evolved to increase in nm sunshine rads. Sadly as we wear clothes now we have very little melanin in the areas of skin most prone to surface cancers too. Brest. I think that ES can most easily be explained by the inheritance of a relatively random spread of melanin shielding on our skin sensors. For those of Neanderthal skin genetic decent the melanin has not been necessary for a million years. It is claimed now that 5% of white Europeans genes are Neanderthal. These sensors initiate skin distress. They form part of the neuron-endocrine system. These are designed to be activated rarely, locally and short term. Now RFRs from wifi phones etc are shorting out in this dermal layer 1-3mm inside our skin. This is as much as 24/7 often. This shorting simulates extreme all over body stress in our primordial defense signaling system. Our conscious brain is largely unaware of this signaling as it evolved separately. This auto non over-ridable self defense. You cannot stop blood clotting by thinking about it. Or pain or sweating. We do these things automatically without thought. Many peoples exposure is so extensive that they have forgotten what it is like not to be in rads. Those without melanin shielding will have any one or more of the endocrine system disruption illnesses that have become epidemic since the GSM networks started and get worse annually. AM radio signals can do this too as I know only too well. ES is the tip of the iceberg.

The genetics that make some of us more vulnerable are inherited traits but it takes a trigger to activate a gene in a negative way. IMMERSING OUR WORLD IN MANY FORMS OF IT HAS BROUGHT IT TO LIGHT.
