I was personally harmed by carrying a wifi-connected device some years ago. It was an Apple iPodTouc, and I did not realize that if I did not put it in "airplane mode" that it would continue to broadcast a wifi signal to look for nearby sources. So after carrying it in my front pocket for 3 or 4 hours a day for just a few days a week or less, I started to see lesions appear on my genitals. They got worse, turning into an open sore as well, and I finally realized the possible connection and stopped carrying the device. A few weeks later the lesions had healed—but discolored areas of skin remain today, over a decade later. The wifi device burned my skin and created a deeper problem too. Since I stopped carrying the device it has not reocurred.
