Do you know the dangers of cell phones?

(April 22, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) This is what one of our readers Nish-Ananthan said about the dangers of using mobile phones:

This is scary, because I have done this many times. You need to see the pictures below to realize how serious this is.

My advise to you is do not charge your mobile phone the whole night and DON'T keep it near you while charging.


I HOPE YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS!!!

Never, ever answer a cell phone while it is being RECHARGED!! A few days ago, a person was recharging his cell phone at home. Just at that time, a call came in and he answered it when the phone was still connected to the outlet. After a few seconds, due to unrestrained electricity flow into the cell phone the young man had a hit and he was thrown to the ground with a heavy thud.

His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious, with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers.

He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.

Cell phones are a very useful modern invention. However, we must be aware that it can also be an instrument causing death.

Never use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical outlet!
