Such a substance can be fatal if inhaled in the most minute quantity, can cause scalds in its gaseous state and is known to promote corrosion in ferrous metals. It's solid state can be hazardous to our health as well, as it has been known to be contributory cause of broken bones and fractures. Big Brother is out to get us! :shock:

If you are suffering symptoms that you think originate from this, then look into it further. I posted specifically about EMF because I have been suffering symptoms consistent with what others have found elsewhere. Diluting the message helps no one, except the corporate entity, and perhaps that's the idea?

This problem won't go away and is only likely to escalate in time. It's better that it's tackled now, whilst the processes are in their infancy and changes can be made. There are a lot less invasive ways of going about recording the delivery of an item. For instance we can upload the data between loops whilst at the van, if time sensitivity is now a key driver for business profitability...
Of course that electricsense site you linked to is going to over exagerate claims so they can sell their EMF snake oil?

If you actually went on his website and read any of it, you'd see that he is not trying to sell you anything! He is merely someone, who over time has become highly EMF sensitive, and has set up a website to help other sufferers. Believe it or not, not everybody who contributes to the WWW, does so for profit. In fact, instead of using his website solely for profit, selling gadgets that,so say, help protect the body from EMF, he actually debunks a lot of them. He's tried pretty much everything currently on the market, and most of these things ARE made by people trying to make a quick buck, and offer little to no relief. He does have a link to a company who sells EMF measuring devices, but I wouldn't have thought he'd make masses from that, and besides, he deserves to make a little money for his efforts.

The problem is in it's infancy, if you search online you will find many people who are sufferers. If 5G ever get's off the ground, then this issue will become a widespread problem, I'm sure. It's being tested in many countries right now, and the infrastructure needed to support it, is vast, and will be very invasive...

The different model of holster which is fastened via the waist band or belt might be more problematic though as the PDA would then be in stationary contact with your body. So I would recommend the type with the strap going over your shoulder.
Wouldn't this just place the PDA over other vital areas such as the lungs?
Sooner or later, a beat dog bites.

This is so true, ha ha. I was reading through the thread, thinking about my poor right testicle and thinking I must transfer my PDA into a pouch pocket from now on.

But now you've started me thinking about my left testicle too and my mobile phone....

It's Saturday night and I just can't stop thinking about my testicles. There's a blues song, right there
