EMF mitigation? Should I do it?
I recently bought my first house. I'm doing a live-&-fix that I want to rent out.
On my second or third day sleeping here, I started experiencing horrible headaches, mind-fog, and fatigue. Long story short, I tracked it down to EMF exposure. - I bought a device that detects EMF and found that there are extremely high electric fields in EVERY room. ( I have temporarily remedied it by killing the power to most of the house at the breaker )
My experience matches the descriptions of EMF sensitivity. I will probably call a building-biologist after corona allows.
But my questions are here:
- Now that I know the building has an EMF problem, am I obligated to pay for mitigation? Mitigation can be expensive, and I don't know if everyone who sleeps here will be effected, or only EMF sensitive people.
- Has anyone else run into this issue or anything similar?
- With EMF awareness increasing all the time, perhaps marketing this as an EMF-free house might attract the right tenants.. ( ..Is this stretching? I have no experience marketing to renters.)
I am in Jacksonville FL if that helps.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
