[Comment: I would be nice if they mentioned the whole EMF controversy. I'm sure reactions to the EMF exposure are far more frequent than reactions to the metals in a phone. Everyone around the phone is exposed to EMF without even touching the phone directly. I wonder if this is a cell industry ploy to detract from recent parental concerns over wi-fi and cell phones in schools?]

"Schools looking to ban cell phones may have a new excuse: a growing number of people are developing an allergy to metal in the devices. We all know that food allergies are on the rise—a study last year placed the rate at 1 per 70 children, compared with 1 in 250 in the 1970s. But at last month's meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, allergists reported that many substances that once seemed innocuous are now leading to allergic reactions too."
