I wonder who is doing the studies to prove no long term harm.
- Eisenstein 3y agoHow would non-ionizing radiation that doesn't cause an acute injury result in long term harm? I would assume that you would need to propose a mechanism for it to happen, rather than try and prove a negative.
- smegger001 3y agoheat induced denaturing of proteins?
- bee_rider 3y agoIt is lower frequency than visible light, so, of course burning things is harmful but we’re not talking about ionizing radiation.
- smegger001 3y agowell if is actually heating the skin it could denature proteins? that can happen at a little 105 degree F. your body operates in the mid 90s naturally if its hot out it wouldn't take much added energy to push you over the limit. EDIT a quick wikipedai search says it can heat the skin to 111 degree F so yeah it could easily do damage.
