My daughter (5 yrs old), boyfriend and I were walking directly under some 
power lines one day and when I put my hand on her I could feel her THRUMMING. 
A vibration coming out of her. My boyfriend felt it too, and it wasn't 
happening to either of us. She felt it when we touched her. Her body hairs 
were sticking up. If I rubbed my hands on her for a while it went away, and it 
didn't come back as long as I was touching her. It was NOT static electricity. 
I've never felt anything like this. She's autistic, and a lot of people think 
autism is a product of mercury poisoning. I know mercury conducts electricity. 
Why was she buzzing? It was pretty frightening.
