Another Reason to Use a Folding Fan
In the Q & A section, I shared about using a sensu, or traditional folding fan. Sure, old fashioned, but it's compact, eco friendly and it works.
I found another benefit of using this type of fan. The handheld electronic fans that a lot of young people carry around use lithium ion cell batteries. These are correlated with fires, as explained in this Asahi article published this week.
Be mindful of your phone and other electronic devices, especially in the heat this summer, as a potential fire hazzard.

My phone's battery swelled up like a souffle a few weeks ago. I hadn't banged it or left it in the sun and for the most part it was in an air-conditioned room. Scary stuff. I didn't know that the handheld electronic fans also use lithium ion cell batteries :-O Thanks for the heads up.
