they cant wear watch because they will turn of but the cause i am not to sure of i just know that much because my dad has the same problem but here is a article you can read and see if it helps http://www.anomalist.com/features/ebody.html

I've heard it could cause health problems because of the electromagnetic energy. Doctors are also concerned because so many kids are using cell phones now. I only use mine when I have to. I really do hate them.

Lots of reasons- some of them are: exposure to too much heat, noise or light, low blood pressure, low blood sugar, anemia, etc. You should probably visit the doctor.

It would cause your neurons to fire. That's why when you get zapped by electricity your muscles tense up. If you've ever been in physical therapy they have something where they attach electrodes to your skin and send a small pulse through you and it causes mild contraction of the muscles.\n\nThat's basically it.

You can get a condition called suspension trauma which is caused by orthostatic intolerance where your body is required to stand in the same position for long periods. This condition affects soldiers on parade grounds and can cause death.\n\nSafety harnesses save many lives and injuries. However, continual vigilance is needed to train and supervise workers to ensure harnesses are used safely. All phases of fall protection need to be examined for each particular application. Workers and emergency response personnel must be trained to recognize the risks of suspension trauma.

Static electricity gets worse when it's dry... low humidity.  You can't do much about that outside, but you can always get a humidifier for your house. Use moisturizers on your skin, switch to cotton clothing, use dryer-sheets at the laundry, use a metal object (like a key) to touch metal things like doorknobs after shuffling along your rug.  Along those lines, pick up your feet when you walk so they're not sliding.  If no key is available, try grounding yourself by touching something like the wall before touching a metal object or a person (or pet!) Experiment with different shoes.  My leather boots are the worst!

Ok... I read the answers previously posted and they all sound reasonable close to the truth, so I'll leave them be.. they did fail to mention how a person is actually killed by a lightning strike... So I'll answer this for you...\nYour body uses the flow of charged ions to control many processes (i.e. Muscle movement, nerve signalling).  The flow of charge is more commonly known as electricity.  The average membrane potential in a human is -70 kilojoules(kJ), and the channels in your cells membrane can be triggered by an impulse of only about 20 kJ.  So when you get a current through your body with a potenial of thousands of volts... obviously there is going to be a disruption of the charge gradient.  Depending on the path of the current through the body, the effects will vary... the most dangerous path is for the current to travel through your heart.  Since your Heart is a muscle and is is controlled by an "electrical" signal, this extreme voltage can cause an over fibrulation of the cardiac muscles and essentially render then useless... kind of like if you were to take a slinky and stretch it out as fa as you can... its not goign to contract again, and is not something that can be easily fixed.  Hope this helps!

I'm assuming you had a resting EKG which looked okay?\n\nYour sinus node is most likely "sick" as they say in medical speak (sick sinus syndrome).  If you're asymptomatic, then they will probably do nothing about it.  If you become symptomatic or your blood pressure starts to drop---they may recommend a pacemaker.   Good Luck.

Yes any mechanical or digital watch can potentially be destroyed by magnets.  Can also destroy your digital media.  Dragging a magnet across a metal object can magnetize it as well so you can permanently turn your watch into a magnet destroying it.  Get rid of the bracelet.

AC at certain amperage will cause your muscles to contract. making it impossible to let go.

its just static electricity as far as I know caused by friction such as when you rub a balloon on your head and your hair raises. Also our bodies are naturally full of electricity

On a lighter note...I would love to be able to answer your question, but this computer keeps hanging!!!\n\nSorry, but I couldn't resist that one! On a more serious note, there is no doubt in my mind that very little is truly understood about the electrical and / or magnetic effects of some people. I must confess that I do not suffer from such experiences, however I do know people who do.\n\nFinally, just imagine all the people who are trying to reply to you but they can't get close enough to a computer!

I came across the site below.  It has some good articles about defibrillators.  They have information and advice on the use of blood pressure monitors that you may find helpful.

An electric shock can occur upon contact of a human or animal body with any source of voltage high enough to cause sufficient current flow through the muscles or nerves. The minimum detectable current in humans is thought to be about 1 mA. The current may cause tissue damage or heart fibrillation if it is sufficiently high. When (and only when) an electric shock is fatal, it is called electrocution.\n\nAn electric shock is usually painful and can be lethal. The level of voltage is not a direct guide to the level of injury or danger of death, despite the common misconception that it is. A small shock from static electricity may contain thousands of volts but has very little current behind it due to high internal resistance. Physiological effects and damage are generally determined by current and duration. Even a low voltage causing a current of extended duration can be fatal. Ohm's Law directly correlates voltage and current for a given resistance; thus, for a particular path through the body under a particular set of conditions, a higher voltage will produce a higher current flow.\n\nShock effects:-\nPsychological\nThe perception of electric shock can be different depending on the voltage, duration, current, path taken, frequency, etc. Current entering the hand has a threshold of perception of about 5 to 10 milliamperes (mA) for DC and about 1 to 10 mA for AC at 60 Hz. Shock perception declines with increasing frequency, ultimately disappearing at frequencies above 15-20 kHz.\n\nPhysiological:-\n\nBurns:- Tissue heating due to resistance can cause extensive and deep burns. High-voltage (> 500 to 1000 V) shocks tend to cause internal burns due to the large energy (which is proportional to the square of the voltage) available from the source. Damage due to current is through tissue heating.\n\nVentricular fibrillation:- A low-voltage (110 to 220 V), 60-Hz AC current traveling through the chest for a fraction of a second may induce ventricular fibrillation at currents as low as 60mA. With DC, 300 to 500 mA is required. If the current has a direct pathway to the heart (e.g., via a cardiac catheter or other electrodes), a much lower current of less than 1 mA, (AC or DC) can cause fibrillation. Fibrillations are usually lethal because all the heart muscle cells move independently. Above 200mA, muscle contractions are so strong that the heart muscles cannot move at all.\n\nNeurological effects:- Current can cause interference with nervous control, especially over the heart and lungs. When the current path is through the head, it appears that, with sufficient current, loss of consciousness almost always occurs swiftly. (This is borne out by some limited self-experimentation by early designers of the electric chair. and by research from the field of animal husbandry, where electric stunning has been extensively studied)\n\nPoint of Entry:-\n\nMacroshock Current flowing across intact skin and through the body. Current traveling from arm to arm, or between an arm and a foot, is likely to traverse the heart, and so is much more dangerous than current traveling between a leg and the ground.\n\nMicroshock Direct current path to the heart tissue

well, it could be just them.  Or that computer emit radiation.  So, some peoples' bodies cannot take it.  To be honest, its very very little.  So, some people can be on computer for years and not have a problem.  Some cant take it after a while, and their body gets tired from the radiation.  Some people people okay and dont have a problem.  Once they see a problem, then every time they jump on the computer, the problem arises right away.  That is because the person's system has given up on fighting that certain element.  But, this is going way too deep because there is very very very little radiation that is emitted from the computer.

Some people have too much static in their bodies so when they are using their computer they wipe out the hard drive from the static in their bodies. So, there is a wrist band that these people can put on that will balance the static in their body so that it does not affect their computers.

it is concerned with greanwhich mean time (GMT) . it 10 o 10 . thats why watches always shows 10 o 10 globally.
