" The man who is 'allergic' to Wi-Fi
A club DJ, Steve Miller, has claimed he has been forced into exile by a powerful allergy to Wi-Fi internet waves which leaves him feeling dizzy, sick and disorientated.

Mr Miller is unable to stay in hotels because they pump out wi-fi waves in every room

Mr Miller, better known by his stage name Afterlife, says he is unable to use trains, stay in hotels or visit his local high street because of his sensitivity to the "electrosmog" cause by wireless internet waves.

He is among around two per cent of the population who claim they suffer from Electromagnetic Hypersensetivity, while the number of people and businesses pumping out the Wi-Fi signal is rising.

Mr Miller told The Sun: "I feel like an exile on my own planet. It's almost impossible to find somewhere without Wi-Fi nowadays.

"If I fancy a pint I have to travel three miles to the only pub in my area that doesn't have it. I can't just go to the shops because huge parts of the high street affect me.

"If I go somewhere, I can instantly sense the Wi-Fi and have to leg it."

Mr Miller, who had a residency at the Ibiza nightclub Pacha before his allergy, said he has missed out on a large number of overseas gigs because all airports and most hotels have Wi-Fi.

The only place where he says he can escape the "electrosmog" is in his own home – a detached house with 18in thick granite walls in a village near Falmouth, Cornwall. "

He should try a tinfoil hat, that may help.

Okay, sorry for being skeptical thinking this guy does this to just play a character to promote his image, but there are worse things to be allergic to.. like water, which some people are.
 
Wow, this makes my mom's allergies look good. And she's allergic to corn, apples, and nuts (and everything else). But Wifi. Poor guy. I didn't know that these kinds of waves could be harmful.

One of my old friend's cousins was allergic to tap water, he had to cook with bottled water and everything.

I'm just allergic to milk and nuts, poor guy.
 
well, that would be an inconvenient thing to be allergic to...
 
I feel really bad for him :[
He can't play pokemon with other people..
 
Is this even possible? I'd never heard of it until reading this topic.
 
Any allergy is possible. People could be allergic to turnip ice cream for all we care.

Anything is possible, there are people allergic to things that you wouldn't expect to be allergic too.

I have heard of this before, along with people being allergic to sunlight.
