creeped me out pretty good, as i use one in the winter ...

any thoughts (confirm/rejects?) on that???? ... supposedly its due to their resistence - which warms them but also radiates in different wavelengths

thx

Meh, reject.... Electric blankets are resistors.... You come into contact with tons of them every single day. There's likely a bigger effect from local power lines all the time - even the buried ones (electromagnetic field beats ground)
