<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I suffer from a condition called Electro Hypersensitivity, also called microwave sickness. Many others also suffer from this condition (Alan DeBoer’s wife is one). When in the presence of a strong wifi signal, my symptoms of ringing
in the ears (tinnitus) and headaches worsen.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am requesting there are days and times when wifi is turned off for people like me. I LOVE reading and have checked out many books from the library.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Have any of you encountered similar requests? How would you handle this situation?<o:p></o:p></p>
