A 2012 article titled “Taking refuge from modernity: 21st century hermits” in the Journal of the Rpyal Society of Medicine compares contemporary “hermits” seeking solitary places due to concerns about “electro-hypersensitivity” and “multiple chemical sensitivities” with the motives of historical hermits. Among the former are people fleeing electromagnetic radiation through cell towers and other technology devices. The behaviors and motives are compared to specific historical hermits: Noah John Rondeau, Roger Crab, St. Simeon Stylites, and St, Anthony the Great. The number of historical hermits is small, limited, and perhaps not representative.
