Nocebo: Reading this column may affect your health [AP-S Turnstile]

In a column [1] published some years ago, I mentioned the following interesting case from France: Family members described complaints ranging from a metallic taste in the mouth to nosebleeds, all attributed to a cell phone tower recently installed across from their apartment building. The family even covered the apartment windows with aluminum foil and other ??protective f lters?? to ward off the ill effects of the radiation from the tower. For its part, the operator of the cell phone tower (Orange) dryly noted that the electronic bay for the tower had not been installed yet and, therefore, the tower was not even active.
