From 1948 to 1997, the Institute of North Industrial Ecology Problems in Russia found that geomagnetic activity showed three seasonal peaks each of those years (March to May, in July, and in October). Every peak matched an increased incidence of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide in the city Kirovsk.<\/p>\n

One explanation for the correlation is that solar storms desynchronize our circadian rhythm (biological clock). The pineal gland in our brain is affected by the electromagnetic activity<\/p>\n

\u201cThe circadian regulatory system depends on repeated environmental cues to [synchronize] internal clocks,\u201d says psychiatrist Kelly Posner, Columbia University. \u201cMagnetic fields may be one of these environmental cues.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Solar Symptoms and Side Effects<\/strong><\/p>\n

Psychological effects of CMEs (coronal mass ejections) are typically short lived and include headache, palpitations, mood swings, and feeling generally unwell. Chaotic or confused thinking, and erratic behaviors also increase. Since Tuesday\u2019s solar flare was a double-whammy, it will be interesting to see whether reports of physical disturbances are more intense or more plentiful than during single solar plasma blasts.<\/a><\/p>\n

Solar eruptions throw 10 billion kilograms, or 22 billion pounds, of solar plasma into space. If that number is hard to grasp, just think of it as ginormous. One to three flares are a daily occurrence on the sun but the waves of charged particles do not always visit our planet. Those that do reach us are both beauty and a possible beast.<\/p>\n

Particles from CMEs get \u201ccaught\u201d in the Earth\u2019s web of magnetic field lines and collide with gas atoms in the atmosphere. The result is the colorful chimera we call an Aurora, or northern lights.\u00a0While human ancestors likely enjoyed those tapestries of color, and may have had mood swings from solar flares, they did not have to worry about the storms messing with satellites and power grids, as we do.<\/p>\n

Magnetic Fields in 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since humans are physically, mentally, and emotionally altered by electromagnetic charges from the sun, it makes you wonder how the bombardment of particles from\u00a0 digital devices affects us on daily basis.\u00a0All this leads one to think that it might be time to break out the tin foil, but since my cats are not acting any more demanding or nuttier than usual, we are most likely OK.<\/p>\n

However, don\u2019t be surprised if next new \u201cplea\u201d in our legal system turns out to be: not guilty by reason of electromagnetic disruption.<\/p>\n
