Description
EHS Day – June 10 is just around the corner! If you’re scratching your head wondering what on earth EHS stands for, don’t worry. You’re in for a light-hearted, curiosity-fueled, electronics-infused ride. This day is all about Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), and while that may sound like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, it’s a very real issue for many people. So grab your phone (maybe turn off the Wi-Fi for this read) and let’s dive in!
History
EHS Day – June 10 was founded in 2020 by DefenderShield, a company dedicated to EMF protection, with one simple goal: raise awareness about Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS)—a condition few people have heard of, but many may actually experience.
As our world becomes increasingly reliant on digital technology, wireless devices, and all things "smart," more people are reporting strange, unexplained symptoms. But here’s the kicker: because EHS is not widely known, it often goes undiagnosed for years. People are left wondering why they feel off, not realizing their body may be reacting to something invisible—electromagnetic fields.
In fact, some studies suggest that as many as one in five people may have symptoms related to EHS. That's a lot of people dealing with headaches, brain fog, sleep issues, or fatigue without a clue what's causing it.
And while we’ve spent years studying the mental health effects of screen time, scrolling, and social media addiction, the physical effects of electromagnetic exposure are still being explored. Early research suggests a link between heavy EMF exposure and issues like depression, anxiety, insomnia, and even the worsening of ADHD and learning disabilities.
Amazing Facts
1. EHS Isn’t Officially a Medical Diagnosis (Yet)
While the symptoms are very real, EHS is not formally recognized as a medical condition in most countries. That doesn't mean it's imaginary—it just means science hasn’t caught up yet.
2. EHS Day Was Founded in 2020
DefenderShield launched EHS Day to raise awareness about this little-known but increasingly common condition—and to get people thinking about their tech habits.
3. Up to 20% of People May Have Symptoms
Some studies suggest that as many as 1 in 5 people experience symptoms related to electromagnetic field exposure—even if they don’t know what EHS is.
4. EMFs Are Everywhere
Electromagnetic fields come from more than just phones and Wi-Fi. They're in power lines, microwaves, Bluetooth devices, routers, smart meters, baby monitors, and even electric cars.
Importance
1. Raises Awareness for an Overlooked Condition
EHS is still unfamiliar to most people, including many doctors. Without awareness, millions may continue to suffer silently, misdiagnosed or dismissed. EHS Day gives the condition a voice—and a day in the spotlight.
2. Encourages Scientific Research
The science behind EHS is evolving. While many studies show biological effects of EMFs, we need more thorough, unbiased research to uncover causes and develop real solutions. EHS Day keeps that momentum going.
3. Supports Mental & Physical Health
EHS isn't just about EMFs—it’s about quality of life. People with EHS often experience anxiety, social isolation, sleep problems, and even job loss. Raising awareness helps others be more compassionate and supportive.
4. Promotes Healthier Tech Use for Everyone
Let’s be honest: we all benefit from unplugging sometimes. EHS Day encourages us to reflect on our digital habits, take a tech break, and reconnect with the real world—even if just for an hour.
How to Observe
1. Take a Tech Timeout
Try going screen-free for an hour or two. Turn off your phone, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth—maybe even unplug the microwave.
Go outside, read a book, or nap like it's 1995. It’s surprisingly refreshing.
2. Create a Low-EMF Zone at Home
Dedicate one room in your home to being a “quiet zone” from EMFs.
No phones, no Wi-Fi, no stress. It could help you sleep better—or at least think more clearly.
3. Talk About EHS
Share what you’ve learned with a friend, coworker, or on social media.
The more people who understand EHS, the less isolated those affected by it will feel.
4. Do a Little Research
Dive into the history of electronics, EMFs, and bioelectricity (yes, the frog thing again).
The more you know, the better decisions you can make about tech use.
