The woman who wears a veil to protect her from modern life

[AB Asks]

Sarah Dacre, 51, wears a veil made from polyester filaments dipped in silver twenty four seven. She believes this veil protects her from the elctrosmog that surrounds us. It comes from mobile phones and wireless broadband amongst other things. Five years ago she experienced symptoms such as sickness, dizziness and high blood pressure. Doctors however, failed to alleviate her symptoms; instead she has diagnosed herself as being electro-sensitive. What do you think? Do you experience any of these symptoms and fail to have them cured? Or do you think this lady is a hypochondriac?

hey its getting hot under this cosy here but hey the internet wireless broadworks works

Wondering who the blazes Sarah Dacre is and why AB Ed or anyone else would give a toss about her medical condition, I dug a bit and discovered that this is a story from the Daily Mail (obviously AB Ed's rag of choice). The picture of her on the website shows her in what looks like a very fine mosquito net, something that if you didn't know what it was for, you'd think she was just wearing it to keep the flies off in the hot weather. Actually, they ought to sell them for that purpose, they'd make a mint.

I am sure essex bloke that if she couldn�t jump start you, she could at least get you going.

I would love to participate [in a test for EMF sensitivity] and to score highly to prove to you and your scientists, but I dread the consequences which will abound later the same day - arrhythmia, right eye throbbing, right ear buzzing as load as an alarm clock, adrenaline overload to name a few symptoms.
I will then need a treatment which at �100 both dents my overdraft further and risks the health that I do still rebuild on every day.
If you can think of something more palatable to a true EHS then please do contact me again. Otherwise, I will live my quiet life with its simple pleasures away from anything remotely high tech.
So I may decline this time.

i just found this from the guardian 2006

[ummmm]

essex bloke...have you noticed with your tea cosy wrapped in tinfoil that you can now get a full signal on your mobile phone?

heres a link for those that want to read it http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/a rticle.html?in_article_id=450995&in_page_id=18 79&ICO=FEMAIL&ICL=TOPART she has foil on her walls.

'"I'm sure people laugh," she says, "but I don't mind as long as it keeps me well." '

so keep the witty comments coming folks lol

[Octavius]

Just to add to my first (and most-deserving-of-three-stars-ever-even-if-I-say-so-myself) answer��

The UN's World Health Organisation (WHO) calls the electronic smog "one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences" and stresses that it "takes seriously" concerns about the health effects. It adds that "everyone in the world" is exposed to it and that "levels will continue to increase as technology advances".

So, beware of your toaster.

very good octavius but she wouldnt be much good at the side of the road but she would turna few heads

[essex bloke]

nah i havent noticted ummmm but it plays hell with airport scanners

[natalie_1982]

If she rides a bike does she put the cycle helmet over the veil or the veil over the helmet?

[ALLO5775]

i agree this was meant to be a serious question but i can't stop laughing @ all the answers!!!!!!


but i think this woman is a lil nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!

[essex bloke]

nat, ive tried putting my crash helmet on and it creases up the foil

[natalie_1982]

If all her walls are papered with foil does she blind herself every time she turns a light on? Or do they give her head / eye / ear / nose / brain ache aswell?

If she used candles it would be like sitting inside a kaleidascope.

Is she married? I may have found her a boyfriend...

[redcrx]

'Her long-term (some would say long-suffering) boyfriend, Rod, a gold and silversmith who lives in Kent, has been sympathetic, she says'

hmmm, i bet he has. Nice sales of silver foil and plated hair nets going on i think :)
