No Cell Phone - Brain Cancer Link?

Looks like using a cell phone won't give you brain cancer. At least not during the first ten years.

No brain cancer link to mobile phones, study says, but the scientists cannot ascertain what the risk will be over a longer period.

Say, more than a decade.

I've been using a cell phone (mostly for sms texting) for close to ten years now. On the few occasions where I had to make a voice call, I noticed that after a few minutes my ear would get warm. Towards the 15-minute mark, I would get a slight headache near the ear closest to the phone.

At that point, I would end the call, but the slight headache would linger for about another half hour. Perhaps it would be prudent to limit the use of cell phones for voice calls.

How about you? What's your experience? (Please use the Leave A Reply form below...)
