I think this was taken rather out of context. The way I understood it, there wasn't any real proof one way or the other but it was recommended that pregnant women not use electric blankets only because if there is one time it is justified to be paranoid about health risks, it's when you're pregnant. Anybody who is really worried about this would do well to ignore anything heard on the net and look up the actual studies. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy -or- roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu "The connector is the network" Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
