The physical concerns associated with a malfunctioning or overheated charger pose an additional threat. If plastic casings are handled, they could get hot enough to cause small burns. More dangerously, an electric shock could result from a short circuit or insulation failure. The majority of contemporary chargers come with safety features, while fake ones frequently don’t.
There are more effects of electric shocks on the body than most people think. Strong currents have the potential to cause arrhythmias or, in rare instances, abrupt cardiac arrest by upsetting the heart’s natural rhythm. Even minor shocks might result in persistent skin damage, numbness, or muscle pain.
Final Thoughts
Leaving a charger plugged in when not in use may appear like a small convenience, but it carries hidden risks to your health and safety. From respiratory problems caused by toxic fumes, to nervous system disturbances linked to electromagnetic exposure, and even severe accidents such as burns or shocks, the dangers are real.
