    Even then it isn’t. It isn’t ionizing radiation, and power levels are so low that at worst case it might increase the temperature of your skin a fraction of a degree if directly exposed.

    Just like the sun does.

      The power levels are extremely high, and we have laws requiring signs and fencing to keep people away from them, something like 5 meters.

      The sun also causes cancer. We used to have a strong atmosphere that would shield us from it. Now it’s best to stay out of the sun.
