Can Strong Magnets Effect your health?

Started by HardySpicer April 6, 2009
A friend of mine says his hands get sore after a few hours of working
with very strong rare-earth magnets.
Does this sound right? Can magnetic fields do us harm?

If you get your finger caught between two strong magnets, they can hurt you. Magnets are a hard cold metal object. Just handling such things can do you are if you are pounding your hand with them. The fact that they may be cold may make some peoples hands hurt.

If you get your finger caught between two strong magnets, they can hurt you. Magnets are a hard cold metal object. Just handling such things can do you are if you are pounding your hand with them. The fact that they may be cold may make some peoples hands hurt. They (rare earth magnets) also cause major problems if children swallow them - particularly if they swallow more than one. The magnets can stick to one another with bits of gut tissue trapped in between them.

Do you mean can really strong magnetic files rip electrons off of atoms?
