Relating to disease or condition caused by or treated with electricity, or describing sensitivity to electrical influences.
From 'electro-' (electricity) and '-pathic' (from Greek pathos, disease/suffering). This term emerged in the 19th century when electricity's effects on the body were first being studied scientifically.
Some people claim to have 'electropathic sensitivity' to electrical fields and devices—while scientific evidence for this is debated, it highlights how deeply modern life is woven through with electromagnetic fields that we rarely think about.
