Hot laptop burns penis

LONDON (Reuters) - Laptops have always been a hot item but a 50-year-old
scientist didn't realise just how much until he burned his penis.

The previously healthy father of two remembered feeling a burning
sensation after he had been writing a report at home for about an hour
with the computer on his lap.

He noticed a redness and irritation the following day but it wasn't until
he was examined by a doctor that he realised how much damage had been
done.

"The ventral part of his scrotal skin had turned red, and there was a
blister with a diameter of about two centimetres (0.8 inches)," Claes-
Gorn Ostenson, of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, wrote in a letter
published in The Lancet medical journal on Friday.  

Two days later, the blisters broke and the wounds became infected and 
then crusted but after about a week the unidentified scientist was 
"healing quite rapidly."   

Ostenson noted that the computer manual did warn against operating it 
directly on exposed skin but said the patient had lap burns even though 
he had been wearing trousers and underpants.   

"This...story should be taken as a serious warning against use of a 
laptop in a literal sense," he added.
