Magnetic wrist strap for DIY

A while ago I got a magnetic wrist strap, which is supposed to hold screws bolts and the like (a task it seems to do quite well)
However after a short while (say 10-15 minutes) of wearing this magnetic wrist strap, I start to feel ‘strange’, I say ‘strange’ in a weird feeling which isn’t too pleasant!
Minutes after taking the wrist strap off I feel back to normal .....

Anyone else had a similar experience to this type of wrist strap or is it just me ?
Obviously it’s something to do with the magnets .... but I hadn’t realised it would cause such an effect !

As a seller of powerful magnetic wrist straps/bracelets etc:- Have seen these symptons/problems before - as you appear to get an initial high reaction then to start with just wear it at night as when you are asleep you do not feel the odd sensations. After a few nights use try wearing it daytime as your body will become accustomed to the magnetic effect and not have any 'weird' symptons. Normally you can wear these at anytime day and/or night. (DO NOT USE if you have a pacemaker fitted and DO NOT use at night if your spouse/partner has a pacemaker fitted and you share the same bed). Also ensure that you drink lots of water to help flush the toxins out of your system.
Would have thought there would be an information sheet enclosed, regarding the above advice, with the product.

No Guiness for me ... so that’s not the reason :pesas:

As for wearing it night .... I tend not to do DIY during the night ...
I’m certain Mrs DLN wouldn’t want me to get my tools out when I go to bed :(

It was just a weird feeling I had while using it

I hear those things are quite polarising.
