Does using a cellphone affect your health? I heard that a cellphone produces radiation and I wonder if that radiation can affect you while using the phone.

Yeah I heard about that too... I don't know for sure, but heard you should just try not to be too close to the phone when you talk on it for long periods of time. Radiation's pretty scary O.o

I hate those kind of studies. Radiation or not, its not enough to kill you anytime soon More likely to die while using phone while driving then to die from its radiation.

this is probably true for a fair number of people.

However, I think it is wise to try to use bluetooth or something similar in order to prevent as much radiation as possible. Some people use their phones a LOT! I highly doubt you'll notice any effect any time soon though. Stuff like this requires prolonged use over a long period of time to cause significant damage.

I remember a couple years back, I would talk on the phone for several hours at a time, sometimes up to four or five hours. I'm not necessarily sure how/if radiation plays a part in my case, but all I know is that I would have severe headaches for a long time after I got off the phone...

Yeah they do release small amounts of radiation, but its not enough to cause any sudden harm. The sun probably causes more damage, although I do get headaches after I use the microwave....

I'm sure it has some slight effect, but the way they are these days, I think it's negligible, unless you strap a cell phone onto your head and leave it on for months. And even then, I think the effect would not be very noticeable.

Well yeah, I doubt the headaches were from radiation... I'm pretty sure I had severe headaches after because I just talked on the phone for freakin' 4 to 5 hours haha. That's enough to wear anyone out!

I really doubt that there's enough radiation in a cell phone to cause brain damage or whatever. That's like saying the radiation from other people makes hugging deadly (and yes, people are radioactive. Everything is.)

You're far more likely to suffer from something I heard about once called Cell Phone Elbow. Apparently there's this thing going around where if you hold your arm at too extreme an angle you'll pinch a nerve. The symptoms are actually numbness and tingliness in the fingertips. One common cause is talking constantly on your cell.

I've heard that they are really dangerous when you use them more than a few minutes.
Personally, every time I talk on my cellphone more than 15 min, I get a headache.

I know there are all the studies out there now that seem to claim that cell phones don't affect your health but I have to go from experience. I worked at Nextel for 5yrs before they merged with Sprint and I used the phone about 4-5000 minutes/month. towards the last couple of years I would routinely get a headache at the end of the day if I was on the phone for too much time.

So I am convinced that cell phones do have some effect on your health. To this day I try to limit my use of the phone and either always use the speaker option or use a headset.

Radiation can affect your health, but only if you talk on the phone excessively. The radiation can cause cancer to your body. Also, you know when you talk on your phone without a bluetooth? The strain from your neck being bent is also a problem.

Cell phones don't affect your health if you use them moderately...

1) If you use them extremely excessively, such as 7 hours a day for a few years, then you will have damaged health, but just talking on the phone for a normal amount of time will not do any damage...

2) About your next being bent: You don't really have any strain on your neck if you are just holding the phone up to your ear, so I don't know where you are getting that from...

3) Radiation: Yes, cell phones have some radiation, but as stated in number one, it will only damage your health if you are using phones for a great amount of time...

Even if it does, you still have a higher chance of dying while using your cell phone: texting or talking on the phone from driving, getting run over by a person who is texting or talking on the phone while driving...
Also, I think it affects your mental health. If you are always on the phone and you never actually see your friends face to face, I think it changes the way you act. Have you noticed how people actually say "lol" when they are laughing or when they shout "OMG! I was, like..."
