Title: Beware "toasted skin syndrome," doctors warn
Post by: kuro808 on February 26, 2012, 04:00:24 AM

(Reuters) - Bottom warmers in cars may ease frigid winter commutes, but dermatologists warn that extended exposure to seat heaters can lead to a skin condition called "toasted skin syndrome." (http://news.yahoo.com/beware-toasted-skin-syndrome-doctors-warn-091045533.html)

I remember reading a story a while back about this condition in relation to laptop use.

Apparently, laptops aren't for your lap!

Heh, now my family and I feel very safe and sound as we never go for heated seats in a vehicle at all.  I pretty much know the feeling because in the summer time, non-cloth seats heat up like a mofo where I live.  In a way, resting your leg up against a heated seat is kinda like touching an exposed exhaust (which happened to my oldest brother years ago).  The heating system in the car should be sufficient enough anyways.

I'm appalled...
