Energy Efficient Bulbs Linked To Anxiety, Migraines and Cancer

For years now, ads have pushed us replace our old standard light bulbs with energy-saving ones. While these bulbs can save you a bit of money, you might be a bit startled to learn that, when broken, they can release 20 times the maximum mercury concentration.

This information was found in a study by the Fraunhofer Wilhelm Klauditz Institute in Germany.

The study found that exposure to these bulbs can be linked to the following conditions:

- Dizziness
– Migraines
– Seizures
– Anxiety

In light of this information, I highly suggest giving a return to old incandescent bulbs some thought. Here are a few more reasons to do so.
