A member asked:
Is the heat from my phone harmful to hold for hours a day and i do this on a daily basis? can it cause cancer or is that a myth ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's a myth: the worry that cell phone radiation (not heat) might increase cancer risk has been disproved in conclusive research studies. Don't worry about it.
