Question

If you hold a TV remote control to your head and then change the channels, can it hurt you?

Answer 1

I'm confused.

Answer 2

Holding or pointing a remote control to your head and changing the channel wont hurt you. The remote control uses infrared technology, and is less harmful to you than the light bulbs in your room.

If you are wondering about cell phones or similar devices, they are not powerful enough to do any measurable damage. The only things you should worry about are frequent x-rays (dont get dentist or body x-rays more than twice a month), and lots of sun/ tanning.
