Question Electromagnetic Field Danger in Hybrids = BS?

Are EMF's really a danger? Have anyone experienced discomfort, nausea, etc while driving their 400h? Apparently the strong flow of electricity from the battery to the motor causes a strong electric field which can disorient the body because it can repel negatively charged particles in your body and attract the positive ones. aka: Make your insides like scrambled eggs.(Maybe that is going to extreme).
How come no one ever mentioned these things?

Total bunk!!!
I lived right near a high power AM radio station for 27 years never a problem.
Used two way radio's in my face never a problem. If you go by these people I should be fried already. This is BS.
