Weather of Arabia - Many people are accustomed to placing the laptop on their feet while using or working, but this habit may lead to harmful effects on the body that increase the risk of contracting some diseases.

 

 

The danger of placing the laptop on the legs

  1. Few people are aware of the risks resulting from this habit, including skin diseases and others. These risks include:
  2. Harmful to fertility: Placing the laptop on the legs for long periods negatively affects reproductive capabilities
  3. Cancer: Swiss researchers from the University Hospital Basel found that hot laptops can lead to skin damage, and that electromagnetic rays can change genetic information and cause skin cancer. Placing a laptop near the reproductive organs may increase the risk of testicular and ovarian cancer.
  4. Problems with pregnancy: Long-term use of a laptop affects a woman’s fertility and her ability to have children, as it delays the production of eggs and makes it difficult for pregnancy to occur.
  5. Skin burns: Doctors have found that placing laptops on their legs for long periods of time can lead to a condition called “toasted skin syndrome,” resulting from prolonged exposure to heat.
  6. Neck and back pain: Using a laptop in this position for long periods of time leads to severe damage to the spine and neck.
  7. Difficulty sleeping: The light from the laptop screen causes melatonin production to stop in the body, affecting the ability to sleep well.
