Wireless Causes Disease.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 30, 1913:
German Physicians Find Operators Contract a Form of Anaemia.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    BERLIN, March 29.— To the list of adjuncts of modern life that bring new diseases is now added radiotelegraphy.
    The German physicians who have just discovered the disease call it wireless sickness. It consists of anaemia with a marked diminution in the number of red corpuscles in the blood. The doctors ascribe it partly to the unhygienic surroundings of wireless operators who generally work in tiny rooms, and partly to the overetherization of the air they breathe by reason of the alternating currents used to generate the waves.
