Hello to all my fellow MyLotters, Last night, i watched a TV program which is focused about human health. They have tackled an issue regarding risk on using a mobile phone and it's effects on human body, and I really am wondering if it is true or not. On your opinion and knowledge, is there any real risk when a person is using one and what are the causes? Thanks folks and Happy MyLotting~!!

Well, yes this is TRUE. There is always a risk while using a mobile phone.As cell phones emit radiations which effect humans adversely.Many studies are carried out and it's found that it affects many body parts and can cause cancers also. and MEN who use cell phones more often have got high risk of infertility. and cell phones should be kept away from KIDS, or whenever kids are around you should switch it off, as it will affect their health too.

I'm also concerned when it comes to child health, me too, I keep my Cellphone away from my daughter when ever I'm home and resting, It not only affects their health, but also their spelling ability Especially when they are exposed to jejemons, I'm not discriminating jejemons, but i think what they are doing is wrong.

hello! yes, for what I know there are risks that can be run by too much mobile phone use! I don't know exactly what these risks! but I know that there are! but I'm talking about an abuse of the phone. What I know isd the that it is important not to put the phone in his pocket, and that goes for both men and women! This is because radiation can lead to infertilityor, at worst, to cancer. But what I want to emphasize is that however it is a thing of the past, as most modern phones, as I know, are regulated in the right way. In any case, The determination of fair use of the phone!

Nice comments my friend, radiation issues are being talked about for the long time about using a cellphone but doctors from around the world, some says it produces high amounts of radiation, some doctors say it has low, but for me, radiation is radiation, prolonged exposure to it though not so high, you'll still accumulate radiation from it.

If there are royal the problems of health that the cellular ones bring. The study that they have done I reveal that the radiation that has the battery of the telephone produces a wastage in the calcium of the bones, because of it to prevent it from happening this it is not necessary to walk with the cellular one in top all the time.

Maybe turning your phone off when it is low battery will reduce that risk.

Yes, it really a concern to us the users of mobile phone. A part from its distractions in your driving that you could end up crashing your car and killing innocent people, there are very serious risks people are talk about. The radio active that cause cnacer to your ears in the long run of the use. The radio action may not be very serious at the begining,but it has the potential to cause cnacer if cell phone are used over time. However, the real concern is the type of phone and where it is manufactured. many people are concerned about fake phones that are filling the market place do not meet health regular and they are real threat to health of people. You need to be very careful what you buy. Check website of the brand and manufacturer and confirm those brands and their worthy.

That is an excellent idea. After all cellphone and mobile phone work the same thing. As long as you got the communication done.

That's why I'm still using an Old-Fashioned Monochrome Cellphone.

I know that there is supposedly some risk, but there is with everything that we do. Chances are that you are more likely to be run down by a car as be irradiated by your mobile. As a cyclist I have a brush with fate at least once a month in the form of a car, bus, wayward dog or the like: but I still cycle.

When ever I'm driving, I don't use the Cellphone, and whenever somebody is calling, I put my car to stop and answer it.

Too right. It is far too dangerous to answer your mobile when driving.

On Doctor Oz there was a show about a man who used a cell phone for I believe 20 years and he ended up with a brain tumor on the side that he used the cell phone. I had a cell phone for two years and gave it up all because I would get bad pains behind and above my ear. I knew then that there was no way I could keep a cell phone. I think people don't want to accept that there are alot of risk when using a cell phone. It was also stated on this show not to sleep with it or carry it in your pocket while on. I think there is alot more info out there but they just don't want to scare people. I feel this way I lived without a cell phone for 50 + years and I can go another 50 without it.

For me, I needed the cellphone for me to keep in touch with my clients but I know that there are risks that, so i moderate my use of my phone.

They say that when keeping your cell phone in your pocket for a longer time will cause a reduced sperm production. Whether this is true or not, I don't know, but I don't quite believe it. Why would cell phone manufacturers put such a dangerous product on the market if they know that when this information is confirmed they'll be in quite some legal problems.

The modern world is completely attracted to the latest technology such as mobiles phones laptops etc.. But the main gadget is mobile phones which is widely used and it also causes much harm to our health because it causes violent radiation which severely affect our internal organs.Hence use of mobile phones must be limited by person to avoid personal injuries.

I did hear about risks you get on using mobile phones. It was a kind of ear problem but that was long time ago when Mobile phone was newly introduced. But that topic ended somewhere because I cant find any debate or a bad consequence.

For me, the clear risk when using cellphone is when you are using a cellphone while driving.

Like Food supplements, the radiation on the cellphone have no therapeutic claim. Like if there is someone who have a cancer, he can't say that it is from radiation. There are no study regarding this one. All they can say was, it can be a source of an illness, but what type of illness is that is still unverified. No matter I believe or not, i don't often used my cellphone near in my body and everytime I am sleeping I leave my cell on my bag.

Hi, Well, risks are many but it's on you how to handle the situation and how to tackle and come out of it. You know I have read somewhere that men who use mobile phones could be risking their fertility, researchers have warned. Using a mobile phone for at least 10 years increases the risk of ear tumours, but I take care of each and everything. I use it when required and not all the time. Thanks.
• Philippines

Yeah, to prevent ear tumors, make the conversation short, and also using head phones reduces the accumulation rate of a person's ear.

mobile usage is bad for health ,but its usage is very difficult to avoid ,importent point to be taken care is we should use left ear and as for as possible we should use ear phone ,seconly once wmobile is on after ringing should be kept near ear ,mobile emits max radiation during connecting and when battery is low

So using radiation resistant cellphone case will surely reduce he radiation risk for a phone users. Thanks man, I'll never let my phone reach it's low battery state.

Hey there The main problem that comes with buying a phone is losing it. Yes it may seem like a small factor but it's a big blow when you know that you have lost yours. Secondly maintaining it is also very important. Now that latest gadgets have come one should look at the disadvantages rather than advantages. Nowadays they have also shown how dangerous the cell phone can be as when we talk it's network can damage our brain network. I am not sure about that but as experts have said that they damage brain cells. Since then i have lowered the usage of my cellphone.

When your phone is snatched, it'll be a big kick for the victim because of the time a person spends from his/her work form the to buy it, and of course thinking hard about it damages the cells of the brain, so many risks are rising from the topic as we talk it all along. Thanks man!

surely, car accident will happen when using your mobile while driving, of course if you are walking in the streets and lot's of people around it may be seen by a snatcher, for men don't put near or pocket of your pants near your male organ coz that causes impotency or your partner may not be able to have a child. for those who have pace maker don't put near to it.

Risk are about danger, and yes, being involved to a crime is one, Risk of being killed is one factor when the hold-up victim is resisting the culprit. Also when cellphone-signal triggered bombs are placed near or within a gasoline station, it's a big trouble, too.

The mobile phone waves are a type of radiation. People who use a mobile for long hours start getting problems in their ears. the cheeck may also turn black. i have seen a few people die bcos of using cheap china phones. The phones have blasted while talikg on charge.

Cheek turns black when the paint is cheaply applied onto the phone and also timed chargers are invented to prevent battery explosions, but yes, about using china phones is one real risk because of the materials being used to it make one and the paint for the plastic is cancerous.
