Helpful Devices
Step one: helpful devices. Some people have medical devices in their bodies, like pacemakers that help the heart keep a steady beat. These devices do very important jobs.
Magnets Can Change Them
Step two: magnets can change them. A strong magnet can change how these devices work. That is why people who have these devices are told to keep strong magnets at a distance.
Warning Signs
