New cell phone scare: ear and cheek rash

This new cell phone scare comes from the UK. That’s where most of the cancer scare warnings originated.

Just as most of the cell phone cancer scares came from England, most of them were later shown to be either greatly overblown or completely debunked.

This alert warns of a rash on the ear and cheeks. The malady has been named, “mobile phone dermatitis” and is said to be an allergic reaction to the nickel surface on mobile phones.

They have cried “wolf” so often we wonder if anyone pays much attention anymore.
