Living near electricity Pylons

0 Recommendations

When I first moved to plymouth Devon UK, our house was built in a small village on the outskirts, local shop and pub and close to the rive, there were also electricity pylons but they never felt a threat, until after living at the house for about 8 months I started geting breast lumps, at one point there were eight ! the cough started to increase and the general "unwell" feeling began, my partner then developed lumps and was due to go into hospital, we move house and the admission to hospital was put back while we moved, when the lump was about to be moved it had gone completly, my sarcoid was dicovered by a consultant at the local hospital who suspected it but the GP at the time disagreed and thought it was over work and a chest infection, so has anyone who has lived near pylons or been subject to electricity whilst working developed sarc?

What an interesting question! I actually have lived near those darn electric towers for five years! It wasn't untill I left though that I was diagnosed and really started to feel bad.

I used to be a utility arborist I once noticed while working near and under a 345kv 161kv overhead power-line that it made my foot drop so bad I could barely walk symptoms seemed to go away once I moved away from the overhead transmission lines. I don't know if this is related but thought it was worth mentioning.

Thank you both for your messages, I know that they have an effect on children and our goverment(UK) deems that they dont affect adults well with these few comments I begin to think otherwise, thank you both once again, with all best wishes marian-anne
