Electric blanket

Description


An electric blanket is a blanket that contains integrated electrical heating wires. Types include underblankets, overblankets, throws, and duvets. An electric underblanket is placed above the mattress and below the bottom bed sheet
Why are electric blankets not good for you?
Electric blankets also present a burn risk to those who cannot feel pain, such as those with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, or who are unable to react to it, such as small children, quadriplegics, and the elderly. As with any source of heat over the groin, use of electric blankets can reduce fertility in men.

Is an electric blanket bad for you?

First and foremost is because they are bad for your health. Leading advocates for the disuse of electric blankets due to the associated health risks argue the use of these products enhances your risk of being diagnosed with cancer, decreased fertility in men, and pregnancy problems for women.

How does the electric blanket work?

Much like heating pads, electric blankets use an insulated wire or heating element inserted into a fabric that heats when it is plugged in. The temperature control unit, located between the blanket and the electrical outlet, manages the amount of current entering into the heat elements in the blanket.

Does electric blankets cause cancer?

In a recent study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, researchers concluded that using an electric blanket -- even all night and for many years -- did not increase the risk for developing breast cancer. About 1,200 women participated in the study, half of them breast cancer patients
Is it safe to leave electric blanket on all night?
While a modern, well-maintained electric blanket is unlikely to cause problems with proper use, it is not recommended to keep electric blankets on all night. Instead, it's helpful to use electric blankets to warm up your bed before you get in and turn them off before you fall asleep.
