Electric blanket is IMO, bad for health.
Exposing body to EM energy. It is known fact people living near the
HT transmission towers have higher rate of cancer. I know a fellow
who was a tech on high power radar system, for some reason he was
infertile.

EM is not all the same, and at best, the literature is not unanimous.
In fact, the majority of reputable physicists and organizations that
have studied this have NOT found a statistically significant correlation
between exposure to powerline (60 Hz) EM and cancer. As far as radar is
concerned, radar is in the gigahertz spectrum. The EM given off by an
electric blanket is 60 Hz. Radar usually uses frequencies that are in
the same frequency range that cause water molecules to vibrate,
producing heat (think microwave ovens). It's well known that the
ability of testicles to produce viable sperm is very affected by
temperature. You work near unshielded high power radar, you very well
may become infertile. However, citing one case in the scientific
literature is known as an anecdote - and is statistically worthless.
