In France, a debate around electro-hypersensitivity is growing these last decades. Our objective was to analyze the reported symptoms and the incriminate sources that might induce these symptoms by a questionnaire-based study. From April to November of 2014, Fifty four auto diagnosed EHS across France respond to our questionnaire. Thirty belonged to different French self-help groups or associations and 22 were not attached to any groups. We had a return rate of 61%.
