I did not have a separate keypad. I type directly onto the screen. I bought my first iPad in 2012 and I’m on my third one. In 2023 I bought my first iPhone (model 12) in 2023 which I still use. I also touched the surface with my fingers. My index and middle fingers on my dominant hand feel like they are burnt as well as the index finger on my non-dominant hand. They also tingle. This is permanent damage.  Therefore I now use a stylus and try not to touch my fingers to the screen. Because of this bad experience, I bought shielding devices for my iPad and iPhone, a Qi Home device to protect my complete body, and a shielding hat to wear when I leave the house. I presently am 75 years old. In my opinion, EMFs are dangerous and need shielding cases, warnings to not touch the screens but use a stylus and/or separate keypad, Warning should be made public and shielding devices should be explained as a possible help, Thank you.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1486","tags":["public-comment"],"source_hash":"f4a6193749b0da484773967229eca5f5628807195a9cb91719522bd845927429","slug":"public-comment-comment-1486","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1486","body_sha256":"4abc5a957e0abd1d971f25472cdb72cc40fec72c99e748f2f30651d0a772ca41","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"other","topics":[{"id":"other","evidence":"As a consumer, I would like to report that three fingers were injured from EMF by typing on my iPad.
