Our communities rely heavily upon cellphones and wi-fi routers. But are we really aware of the dangers associated with our usage of these technologies? Here is an article that was posted by a friend on Facebook.
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/09/21/cell-phone-wifi-radiation.aspx
Please read all the way to the bottom as safety recommendations are listed.
