Our body cannot repair itself due to the constant exposure to high levels of radiation, which results in various health complications. Electric blankets are known to emit 10 to 40% more EMF radiation than the electrical wiring in the home.
There are studies linking radiation from electric blankets to leukemia developed in childhood. It can also increase the growth of cancerous cells because it interferes with the autoimmune system.
There is also an increased risk of miscarriages to pregnant women. The exposure of EMF radiation between 50 to 60 Hz is known to increase breast cancer, also affecting the reproductive system as a result that leads to increased infertility in men.
Prolonged use of an electric blanket can suppress the production of melatonin hormones that trigger stress and also reduce the quality of sleep and sleeping cycles. It can also affect your brain, increasing the possible risks of depression.
However, not all people react differently to EMF radiation, and the effects can vary from one person to another. In most cases, those sensitive to radiation report having sleeping problems and reduced energy levels. Therefore, using electric blankets regularly can cause you more harm than good.
