Fun fact: eyeballs and testicles are some of the most sensitive parts of the human anatomy to radio frequency heating damage because they are mostly liquid, close to the surface of the body, and have small blood vessels so they don't get much blood flow (meaning they heat up easily and don't lose heat quickly)
The more you know
Can confirm, ionizing radiation also gives you a wicked headache. Big shout-out to the fuckhead who had us working 20 feet below an active broadcast antenna after telling us it was definitely off at 1180 feet.
Radio frequency isn't ionising radiation. It's still harmful to absorb a bunch but individual photons don't have enough energy to ionise particles.
