Question

    You may have heard of people who are allergic(过敏)to seafood, smoke or pets. But did you know that some people were allergic to Wi-Fi signals(信号)?

Rose White, a 44-year-old woman from Britain, first found herself being allergic to Wi-Fi signals in 2015. She had a cough, heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi-Fi signals.

Rose has tried many ways to keep away from Wi-Fi signals In the past six months, she either slept in her car or in tent which she had put up in the woodland and in the fields. She even tried sleeping in a shed (棚子). Being completely tired, Rose had no choice but to quit her job and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to avoid Wi-Fi signals, but failed. Because of the hard life, she got a stomach problem.

She is now living in a small house in the rural area in England. There are far fewer Wi-Fi signals.However, the house, which belongs to her friend, will be sold to others, so she, has to move again soon.

Rose is planning to move to a more rural area. She is also planning to buy a camper van(野营车)so that she can drive away from Wi-Fi signals whenever she is feeling uncomfortable. As she can not work to make money, she has to raise money online. She is hoping to raise 15,000 pounds. So far,she has raised over 1, 600 pounds. She still has a long way to go.
