Mobile phones 'cause skin rash'

WaterlilyWaterlily Member UncommonPosts: 3,105

"Mobile phones users are developing rashes on their faces and ears caused by an allergic reaction to the nickel on handsets, skin experts warn."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7673589.stm

Especially motorola and design phones seems to have high amounts of Nickel in them.

I found this rather interesting. I'm not a big fan of new technology although I love PC's, but that's also all I love, I do the rest very traditionally.

    Cheap paint, not tested.  Good job, idiots. 

     

    I hate companies that are out to make a quick buck at the expense of the consumer.  I hope they get their pants sued off.

    it also produces brain tumours. So, for you heavy cell phone users, good luck!

    People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

    I agree with the paint thing. Could be the metal, or the radiation.

    No, not really. But please by all means continue to avoid these darn brain tumor causing cellphones.

    Seriously, how much evidence do you woo-woos want?  It doesn't happen.  Period, the end. 

    How would you know? Have you studied celular radiation?

    There's research that supports both sides.

    And this is a million dollar business, so take every news bit that comes out with a grain of salt.

    Btw, how long did it take for people to realise Laser Printers are a health risk.

    Do I need to completely bomb you with links to research that disprove it? there are always studies on both side but in most cases, such as this one, there is an overwhelming amount of studies that support one side and only a few that support the other. Int his case, the vast majority of studies show that phone use does NOT cause brain tumors.

    No there isn't.  Conclusively speaking, there is no evidence that supports cell phones causing brain cancer.  I have studied radiation  - I know that another name for it is light.  You know, that stuff the sun shines on us.  The sun is hitting us with far, far more light, on far far more active wavelengths than cell phones are.  

    That not good enough?  How many studies do you want?

    The Science is no more 'out' here than it is on Global Warming.  There's no controversy.  They don't cause brain cancer.

    That looks rather unhygienic. Maybe the phone was just dirty, and the guy doesn't wash his face.

  • claudineBclaudineB Member Posts: 7

    maybe the paint, or too much brushing against the skin.. they should be testing their units (quality control) first before selling it to people..

    So does having sex on a carpet, so what?

    These health scare things p me off, everything is bad for few, gives you cancer ect. I think the best one I read about is burnt or overcooked food gives you cancer. i mean how the hell do you avoid that?
