She knows? By what authority?? This past year, not only the IEEE but also
Consumer's Union agreed that the available data on the impact of electrical
fields showed no discernible impact on health. But then, it's a wife, she
must be right according to The Rules. >>
I don't know how many of you are old enough to remember, but I can remember
how much fun it was to go to the store with my Mom when I was a little kid to
buy shoes. I thought it was great fun to wiggle my toes in the X-ray machines
and watch my bones move. The experts said that was harmless, too!
I personaly don't believe the electric fields involved are any danger, but a
little healthy skepticism is worth while, particularly by someone like John's
wife who is probably not very knowledgeable about such matters. Based on past
history, who can she really trust?
