Does increased body temperature from a wig put you at risk for cancer spread?

no research or studies can support that.   so my answer is NO

its not the cancer thats contagious...its a virus that can be passed thru sexually that can cause the cancer...check the facts before u start whinning

I know an estate not far from where I live where out of about 200 houses there are 300+ cases of cancer.\nI would not advise anyone to move into a house where there are overhead lines and pylons.

No, it doesn't cause cancer says the latest tests.  The ones where it did cause cancer they were giving mice ridiculous amounts of the stuff. (like 1000 pops a day).\n\nBut I'm pretty sure that will be an ongoing debate.

Increased risk of sunburn, heatstroke and skin cancer Id guess

I definitely think you should get it checked, if nothing else, to put your mind at rest. I, too, doubt it would be cancer, but I must strongly disagree that "you would know if you had skin cancer". That's simply not true, and it's the reason why so many people aren't diagnosed until it's too late.\n\nDo you exercise much, or has the weather changed lately? It could be a bit of prickly heat. I get it from time to time and your description sounds similar to what I experience. If it's prickly heat, in an adult it's usually nothing to worry about and will go away - though the thing that makes me doubt this diagnosis is that it doesn't bother you at all. Prickly heat is often quite irritating, but then, everyone's different.\n\nI really think you need to see your doctor on this one, just to be safe. Not everything that hurts is dangerous - but not everything that's painless is harmless.

It can actually boost some hormones, making you grow hair in places you don't want to (facial hair, back hair, etc), while decreasing levels of others.  These fluctuations can lead to osteopenia (early form of osteoporosis), weakened joints, bad breath, irregular periods (or none at all) and many more nasty effects.\nYou certainly must eat, and try to eat well!!!

absolutely! If you suffer from high temperatures exceeding 104^F for more than a few hours, you should seek imediate treatment. Your eyes are not the only organs at risk.

Not necessarily. Usually, in the more severe cases of autoimmune conditions this is true...before the meds are regulated, etc. My Mom has Autoimmune Hepatitis (this is the non-contagious kind). This involves her liver. When she first started getting sick, her temp was pretty normal. Now she is on maintenance medication (she has decided against a liver transplant) her temperature is normal...but that's just through personal experience. There may be other conditions out there that differ, or affect body temperature in a different way.

No.  Cancer is a mutation of your body's cells and you can't cause that just by plucking the hairs, no matter how many you pluck.

A meta-analysis on this issue was reported in the May 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).  They found 'some evidence' for increased risks of certain types of cancer and recommended additional research.\n\nHope this is helpful for you.

For an adult, any body temperature of 104 or higher is potentially harmful.

this is what was told to me by a doctor...it is a good sign if you even grow hair out of your moles but becareful not to expose yourself to the sun much because if the hair stops growing you should have the mole(s) looked at because they can become cancer very fast.

Yes...you can get skin cancer no matter what the colour of your skin is.

I doubt it!!    As soon as the liver is moved cells would be disturbed and would be more likely to shift to other parts of the body and grow there.  Even if the cancer was confined to teh liver its unlikely it would stay that way...;

No. A small muscle raises the hair so that it can trap in your body heat.

General consensus on this question is that all sensitive areas that require protection from the cold typically grow hair.  The more the body loses heat from that area, the more hair there is.  (Which is why you have a full head of hair!)
