Worried about the uncertainty surrounding possible links to cancer and other problems from electromagnetic fields?
In the mid-1980s, researchers at the Institute of Geobiology in Chardonne, Switzerland, announced that tests showed employees who used to suffer from headaches and tiredness felt better after working for two years with a cactus next to their monitors. A hypothesis has been suggested that cacti evolved to counter the effects of harsh solar radiation.
The science is unproven, but why not play it safe and enjoy a little nature while you work?
