Comment:

 You make a good point.  Things near 10hz can cause seizures.  And it can
 induce illness even in normal people.

 We'll have to fix the flashing LED from the wireless (already irritating)
 to somehow stay well away from the frequency.

 The link above says to stay away from anything between 5 and 30HZ.
