I have recently heard several reports that cell phones could be a danger to our little ones. Cell phones are still new to our society and enough time hasn’t passed yet for us to have a clear idea on the health risks associated with cell phone usuage. Apparently they are signs of radiation entering the brain when we talk on our cell phones. This could lead to humans having more brain tumors in the future and that seems to be the biggest concern right now. Since kids are still growing and haven’t fully developed their bone structure yet, it could possibly be doing them more harm than we know. A young child’s skull is much thinner than those in adults and the bone density could be a factor. Radiation from cell phones might be harming us all but the kids might be getting the worse of it.

If radiation from cell phones concern you and now you’re worried about your child’s safety, there is other people out there that totally deny these allegations. Some people say the radiation is so small coming from cell phones that it would take more than 100 years to see any effects from it and these would be the people that use cell phones constantly. Our own sun sends down radiation daily and if you walk outside, you are more than likely getting some. That is the reason we have all of the sun tan lotions and sun blockers on the market to help prevent some of these harmful rays. No one should be spending most of their days in the sun unprotected, because we know this is not safe. Maybe until we learn more about the radiation associated with cell phones, we should limit our use of them each day. Sometimes it’s better to be safer than sorry and I think this would qualify for one of those times.
