Dr, i'm worried. i just read that hair dryer has an important emf radiation, i use it often to dry my son's hair very close to my belly, and also put it on my knees. i'm 30 weeks pregnant and i'm afraid that my baby got brain injuries?

I have never heard about this adverse effect of hair dryer. Your baby is well protective by many physical layers, you should not worry too much.

You have misunderstood the significance of what you read. You needn't worry. You baby is well dug in behind several layers of protection.

Would radiation from X-rays etc of the legs or knees (lower body) increase my risk of Salivary Cancer? I had some radiation as a kid but only of lower body, not the head. I understand that most tumors are benign anyways but was wondering about this?
