Is using an electric blanket harmful to the human body?

As winter approaches, many families choose to use electric blankets. Of course, electric blankets are ideal heating products for families. There are more and more of these high-tech products, and people's choices are becoming more and more diverse. Not everyone can use the electric blanket, and some people will experience adverse reactions after using it. During normal use, you may occasionally feel the voltage acting on the human body. Although the amount of electricity is small, it is not a trivial matter for infants or weak people. Are electric blankets harmful to the human body? Let’s take a look at it below.

1. Electric blankets are ideal heating products for families in winter. However, electric blankets are not suitable for everyone, and some people may experience adverse reactions after using them. When people use electric blankets, even if the insulation resistance of the product is completely qualified, there will be induced voltage acting on the human body.

2. Although this current is small, it is potentially dangerous to the elderly, infirm, heart patients, infants and young children. Pregnant women sleeping with electric blankets may also cause fetal malformations. These people can use hot water bottles or air conditioners to keep warm in winter, and it is best not to use electric blankets.

3. Stroke patients, especially the elderly, have skin that is less sensitive to cold and heat, so overheating of the electric blanket can easily cause harm to the body.

4. When the electric blanket is turned on, there will be a very low electromagnetic field, which will have some adverse effects on female endocrine system and even lead to infertility in severe cases.

5. The male testicles can only ensure the activity of sperm at a lower temperature. The heat generated by the electric blanket will have an adverse effect on the male's seminal vesicle over a long period of time, causing men to have fewer sperm or weak sperm motility.

6. Children have relatively strong physical vitality. As the saying goes, "children have three pots of fire on their buttocks", so they are not afraid of cold beds. If they get used to the heat of electric blankets, their resistance to cold will decrease, their immunity will be reduced, and their growth and development will be affected. It is not recommended to use electric blankets.

The above are some explanations on whether electric blankets are harmful to the human body. Today's life is completely different from before. The technology is becoming more and more advanced, but the environment is becoming more and more harsh. We need to increase our own immune resistance and cannot rely entirely on external forces. It is better to wash with warm water before going to bed.
