Bernadette, 66, who lives with Caoutte, said that "only without electromagnetic signals, the terrible headaches would not torture me to near madness. I can only feel better when I stay in the cave and be able to fall asleep. Except here, everywhere else is hell." For them, the cave is the safest place.
According to the report of Huashang Daily, recently reported by the French magazine L'Observateur, two women, Caoutte and Bernadette, who are allergic to electromagnetic waves, have taken refuge in a cave on the Vercors Plateau in southeastern France. There is a prominent notice at the entrance of the cave in bold letters saying "No mobile phones."
Caoutte, 52, told reporters, "I cannot bear electromagnetic waves, whether it's WiFi (wireless internet), mobile phones, or high-voltage lines. As soon as I come into contact with similar signals, my whole body becomes unbearably hot, like being burned."
Caoutte said, "I used to teach at the University of Nice. Since January 2009, after the school installed WiFi wireless networks, due to the omnipresent wireless signals, my body was pierced with pain. For a long time, I parked my car in places that were not yet covered by wireless networks and slept there all night. Later, those places were also invaded by modern technology. Once, after a short stay in a cave in Burgundy, my condition improved slightly, and I suddenly had the idea of living in a cave."
"The cave on the Vercors Plateau is good, far away from the interference of modern technology. We have also placed some aluminum sheets on top to enhance resistance to electromagnetic waves. The doctor comes to the cave to see me every week, and I am classified as second-level disabled. I now miss the sunlight outside very much."
