(NEWYORK.CBSLOCAL) — We use our electronic devices for all sorts of things – from talking and looking up information to playing games.
But as CBS 2’s Elise Finch reported Monday, the frequent use of such gadgets is actually making some people sick.
Smartphones, tablets and laptops are the devices that keep us connected. But as an article in the most recent issue of the journal Pediatrics pointed out, one 11-year-old boy’s persistent rash turned out to be due to the frequent use of his iPad.
It turned out the child was allergic to the nickel on the exterior of the device.
