antenna comes in contact with the skin,
a minor bum may result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage
and/or bodily injury such as burns if
conductive material such as jewelry,
keys, or beaded chains touches
exposed terminals. The material may
complete an electrical circuit (short
circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise
