If you have some friends that seem sensitive to 2.4 GHz you might consider conducting an experiment to test your suspicion. Good science would suggest a double blind approach where the subject and person recording the presence or absence of a headache has no idea if the 2.4 GHz source is on or off. Running enough trials to make any observed correlation the result of RF effects and not random chance would take time and effort from you and your friends. However, the results would interest many people worldwide.

In my own case i've never had any problem with RF radiations in the years i've been using cell phones, WLAN devices, cordless phones, etc. But i know a few cases in which some friends seems to be too sensitive to this signals. I don't know why but when they get close to an Access Point or for example those X10 wireless cameras, the begin to get headaches. When the cameras or the AP is turned off their headache begins to fade. While this is just a minority (most of the people i know haven't had any problems like this) this would mean that evidently there are some people out there which can't handle very well RF radiations. Thinking about childrens this could be something important to keep in mind. Againa, it's just a minority and for the three years we've been using WLAN devices they only get headaches but nobody knows what will happen in a decade after using them. Personally i can't live without my wireless devices. I "need" my laptop, an internet link and my cellphone. I'm a "tech-guy". But we can't forget that people living most of their life in rural areas, away from all tech gadgets, have longer lifes and tend to be stronger against all diseases. Yes, they eat natural food and not biotech-improved food. But they also are away from many (not all) RF radiations. It's a god thing to keep in mind. Julian.
