Is it harmful to the human body to use electric blankets in winter?

When the weather gets cold in winter, some families will use some electrical appliances for heating. For example, using a heater or electric blanket. Electric blankets are often used for heating in the north, especially when people sleep with them on at night. So some people want to know, is long-term use of electric blankets harmful to the human body? Next, we will introduce in detail the precautions when using electric blankets.

Use electric blankets with caution as they have harmful radiation to the human body.

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. Although this current is small, it is potentially dangerous to the elderly, infirm, heart patients, infants and young children. Pregnant women sleeping on 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. Stroke patients, especially the elderly, have skin that is less sensitive to cold and heat, so overheating of electric blankets can easily cause harm to their bodies.

When an electric blanket is turned on, it will produce a very low electromagnetic field, which can have some adverse effects on women's endocrine system and even lead to infertility in severe cases. 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.

Children have greater physical vitality. As the saying goes, "children have three pots of fire on their buttocks", so they are not afraid of a cold bed. If they get used to the heat of electric blankets, their resistance to the cold will decrease, their immunity will be reduced, and their growth and development will be affected. It is not recommended to use electric blankets. If you are really worried that they will feel cold, you can add a layer of towel blanket inside the quilt. The soft surface can reduce the cold feeling when the skin touches the quilt.

But it should be noted that electric blankets generate heat when they are powered on. When using, be sure to buy electric blankets produced by regular manufacturers. Do not buy inferior products to avoid electric shock.
