It's Official. Cell Phones are Hazardous

Post by Royal » Thu Jun 02, 2011 5:15 am

But you knew that anyway...

Instead of storing phones in pockets or on belts, it's better to carry them in a bag or something that keeps them at least an inch from your body. (Both iPhone and Blackberry manuals already recommend this.) Also, the WHO recommends using "hands free devices" like headsets to talk on the phone, or texting rather than calling, both of which can help reduce risks for glioma.

If its because of the electro-magnetic field cell phones produce, it's everything we use.

So... I should keep my laptop off my chest, and off my sack?

What irony, I can't use lead paint on my house, but I can let my kid give himself cancer.

The only thing I know for sure is that you should keep your chest and sack off of my laptop.
