People who are allergic to down and other common allergens have no idea how lucky they are. Of course, such luck is relative, but while doctors have already learned how to cope with such seasonal and other common types of allergies, there are also types of such a disease that, unfortunately, cannot be cured today. Even greater troubles of such allergic reactions are caused by substances or phenomena that cause them. For example, in recent years, doctors are increasingly diagnosing patients with allergies to gadgets.
Debbie Bird was born in the UK, she is forty years old. An Englishwoman spent a significant part of her life defending herself from the harmful effects of mobile phones, microwave ovens, computers and other trappings of modernity. Each of these devices, in close contact with Bird, instantly causes her an allergic reaction: a skin rash and severe swelling of the eyelids (at the time of the attack, the eyelids of the unfortunate woman increase three times in size).
Today, Debbie and her 45-year-old husband Tony have turned their home into an oasis where an allergy sufferer can live to the fullest. The walls of Bird's dwelling are painted with a special carbon paint, the windows are covered with a protective film, and the bed is hung with a silver mosquito net, which effectively protects Debbie from radio waves.
Today, Debbie Bird takes her illness for granted, although sometimes she regrets that many of the blessings of life are not available to her. For example, in her house there is no (and never will be) a microwave oven, cellular and cordless phones, a computer and the Internet, as well as other gadgets, without which many individuals cannot imagine their own life.
Debby only drives her car, which has nothing in it that would make a woman allergic to gadgets. Other cars, for example, crammed with all the possible communication devices of Debbie's close friend BMW, are taboo for her. A short stay in this car at the same time provokes a severe headache in Bird, tingling, burning, rash and swelling.
Debbie Bird first experienced the signs of a gadget allergy when she and her family (husband and daughter Antonia) moved into a well-appointed flat in Bowden, Greater Manchester. The reaction of a woman to high-tech devices forced the Bird family to quickly leave their new home and move to another - converted - house. The couple had to spend a significant amount of money to fully protect their home from radiation harmful to Debbie.
Unfortunately, the doctors are unable to help the woman. Doctors say that there is too little data on Byrd's disease in the current period. Today, only five hundred people suffer from this disease (namely, allergies to gadgets), but this is not the limit. Alas, the forecasts of scientists are disappointing - in the near future there will be much more people suffering from such allergic reactions.
