Constant Mobile Phone Usage, A Threat To Brain Cell – Expert

A Medical Practitioner with Federal Medical Centre, Ekiti, Dr.
Kayode Oyebode, on Saturday said that constant use of
mobile phones could damage the brain.
Oyebode said this while fielding questions in Osogbo.
He said that the heat generated by cell phone was capable of
damaging brain cell.
"The use of mobile phones excessively can cause brain cancer
because the composition of the brain tissues is more prone to
chemical changes if exposed to radiation.
"Certainly, this radiation from mobile phones adversely
affects our nervous system, especially memory. When making
call, do not put your mobile closer to your ears," he warned.
He advised that after dialling, left ear should be used because
using the right ear can affect the brain directly.
Oyebode advised people to use ear piece, wireless headphone
and other preventive measures while making or receiving calls.
He also advised Nigerians to always stick to medical
instructions as many tend to turn deaf ears to what they
knew was harmful to them.
Oyebode said many Nigerians indulged in making use of phones,
especially motorists and pedestrians while driving, warning
that the action was risky.
He urged Nigerians to be agents of societal change by laying
good examples for others.
"Prevention is better than cure; it is better to do what is right
so that others can learn from you than to cause harm to
yourselves and others."
