    Your nav unit is leaking blinker fluid! Might want to get that checked.

    HUH?:rolleyes:

    This thread is like, some kinda joke---right?
    The switching power supplies that serve the towers????
    Noise backfed into the power grid?
    Huh????
    That makes....NO sense at all.
    Granted...I work in the Central Office, which has a much MUCH bigger power plant than the itty-bitty ones that feed the cell towers...so why are there not "cancer clusters" around these? They'd be easy to spot, since they're usually located in the MIDDLE OF TOWN.
    I gotta read up on some of this.
    I've only been in telecommunications for 12 years, and so there may be time for me to get out before I explode....maybe go back to nuclear subs where it's safe!...:D

    The answer is obvious . . . it isn't cancer . . . EMF is inducing variations of hysteria, neurological conditions:

    • The largest group are people who walk around talking into the air while holding small objects near their ears. Sometimes they do it in their cars without holding anything to their head.
    • Another smaller group are affected by great fears from seeing people walking around talking into the air but misdiagnose it as cancer.
    • The smallest group attribute this to other objects such as power lines and right rear seats of a popular hybrid electric car.
    The real EMF hazard is neurological as it leads to wide-spread adoption of the man standing on the street corner 'talking to God' or some other mythical being who isn't there. A smaller group becomes paranoid but claims it is cancer. Finally, the smallest group displaces their fears to Prius rear seats (although one must check if they also yell "SHOTGUN" when approaching a car.)

    Where is the right rear? I am laying in the back of my 2013 prius pip currently. From here I measured all within reach. The back of the front passenger seat is putting out right at 600 microteslas and the highest reading I got. Near the top of the seat the reading is ridiculously higher then any other spot within my reach.

    The reading is quite high on the drivers side of both front seats. In assuming it's from the magnetism of the airbag release within the seat.

    Magnetism? Airbag release?

    I think it’s from the micro turbogromulator in the headrests

    I was happy when this pseudo science thread died out 13 years ago, I hope it dies again soon.
