And it's no kidding. Meet the man who is allergic to Wi Fi internet.

Club DJ, Steve Miller, who is better known by his stage name Afterlife, cannot use trains, stay in hotels or visit his local high street because he is allergic to the 'electrosmog' caused by wireless internet waves. So, the only way left for him to combat the situation was to live a life of exile.

Miller is one of the rarest of the rare cases, and in medical terms, his condition is called Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity.

"I feel like an exile on my own planet. It's almost impossible to find somewhere without Wi-Fi nowadays," the Telegraph quoted Miller, as telling the Sun. He retorts: "If I fancy a pint I have to travel three miles to the only pub in my area that doesn't have it. I can't just go to the shops because huge parts of the high street affect me."

Miller, himself being avidly into music, he says that he has missed out on a large number of overseas gigs because all airports and most hotels have Wi-Fi. And the only place where he can escape the 'electrosmog' is in his own home - a detached house with 18in thick granite walls in a village near Falmouth, Cornwall.

According to Miller, the majority of headaches people get at work can be attributed to their office Wi-Fi connections. He explains: "I've spoken to friends who work in offices who end up living on painkillers because of their daily headaches."
