Yet there are no dead zones around TV transmitters.

Average US background radiation 624 millirem per year
CDC says 73% is inhaled

TV transmitters...anecdotal only.

My son is in HVAC and they maintain the local transmitting facilty. He says that every time he goes into the area of the transmitters, it makes his skin crawl and gives him severe headaches and nausea.

He said they used to keep a caretaker housed on sight near the base of the antennas, but he gradually went nuts over several years and ended up in suicide.
