No and no. You've asked the same question regarding dental radiographs. The answer is still no.

While wireless technology is said to be safe, there have been many research papers showing the negative effects of EMF exposure. 'Rouleaux' is a condition where your blood cells (RBCs) start to stick to each other, instead of freely flowing. Rouleaux is common with infections, inflammation, cancers, etc. I wouldn't worry about a few hrs/days of your habit but best to limit use to avoid Rouleaux.
