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.
