What are the contraindications? (When should I NOT use a zapper?
A. The only stated contraindications for zapping are if you are pregnant or if you have a pacemaker. There is no evidence that I know of to address the degree to which these precautions are valid. Since it remains an unknown, the warning remains: don’t zap if you are pregnant or have a pacemaker. As is true for everyone, zap at your own risk . We have zapped ourselves and our infant children (even as young as two weeks old). While we observe no obvious negatives, it is not possible to definitively say whether there are long–term concerns. As far as our children are concerned, their teeth haven’t fallen out, their hair seems normal, and they seem generally healthier than most children their age.
