Are Your Gadgets Making You Sick? Low Sperm Count
The condition: Despite repeated reassurances from the FCC to the contrary, those invisible electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted by cell phones, Wi-Fi networks and other wireless devices are being blamed for a whole host of health problems, including nausea, upset stomachs, tinnitus, brain fog and short-term memory loss. The most disturbing charge, however, is the link between cell phone use and dwindling sperm counts.

The EMF Safety Superstore sells silver-lined underwear, which reportedly blocks harmful EMF radiation. Otherwise, there's always pay phones.
