The nickel sized basal cell carcinoma that was cut out of my face was approximately the center of the cell phone I used for a couple of hours a day, and on the same side I held the phone. I use the phone on speaker for any long call, or keep it brief, now.
I can't say that was necessarily the cause of the cancer, but I'm not taking any more chances. One long scar down the side of my face is (hopefully) enough.

True, but I'll bet people don't screw with you in a bar anymore.

Probably a good precaution for us women folk to refrain from tucking our phone in our bra, too.

They never did, much, and very rarely twice. When you can smile at them with all your teeth and only a couple little scars, they think you just might be a little too quick to mess with. I haven't been in the bars more than once or twice since, but when people asked about it, I just told them the other guy would be making regular visits to the hospital for the rest of his working life.  ^-^ (Sometimes, I'd tell 'em he is a surgeon, sometimes not...)

Might not be the best place to haul it. I carry my flip in a side holster with a metal clip on the back to hopefully cut down some of the tower tagging RFI, and put it aside when I'm in.
