Another Technology Health Concern?

Our need to constantly be in touch has now created another health concern. The Brisitsh Association of Dermatologists is warning of a skin rash caused by cell phone use and wouldn't you know it supposedly is more prevalent in women.

It seems the nickel contained in some jewelry & belt buckles is also found in some cell phones and causes a rash to the ear, cheek and fingers of frequent users.

Not only could this be a concern to those who now a use cell phone as their only means of communicztion but also for business users since cell phones have become just another tool for us all!

I am not surprised to hear that. I do get a rash on my check when I use my phone to much.

I have gone to using my ear piece most of the time.

Sandy, When I read this I thought "we needed something else to worry about". You're the first person I've actually heard of being affected by this. I'm glad you found a relatively simple solution. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
