How safe is heated clothing?
How safe is heated clothing? For example, this heated hoodie. Are these safe to wear, especially considering a family who just purchased the stetzerizer package for their home? We've taken two steps forward, and don't want to take two steps back.
My thoughts on it would be it's probably not as bad as some types of EMF. The reason being it is DC - direct current - powered. However, we don't know if it is pulsed at all. Pulsed EMF could be a concern. Even static DC EMF can be a concern - it's not natural. Some parts of the body and organs and tissue would be exposed to one polarity, and others could be exposed to a different polarity. This could confuse the body and cause abnormal biological effects.
There is not a lot of research on this. As with anything, it is taking a risk. Having heating elements so close to the body like that - producing magnetic fields...seems risky to me. Measurements could be taken and then compared to standards such as those set forth by the International Institute for Building Biology and Ecology. We've never measured such a device. This is news to me that they exist even.
wondering if you had any further insight into this 5 years later. I was avid in wearing a heated vest due to thyroid issues and always freezing, but am now dealing with some issues in my back, where most of the hardware and battery were in the device. I can't find any modern accessible good research on this
