Man Claims He's Homeless Due to WiFi Sensitivity

A New Mexico man is taking his neighbor to court because she refuses to stop using electronic devices like cell phones and computers. The man claims he suffers from a WiFi sensitivity, and is unable to stay at home or in a hotel because "all hotels and motels employ wi-fi connections, which trigger a severe illness." His neighbor's home is only 25 feet from his, so the man has been sleeping in his car to avoid any electronic devices.

Scientific studies have said that alleged WiFi sensitivity or allergies are purely psychosomatic. A judge hasn't ruled on the case yet, but it will be interesting to see the outcome.
