According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 5G shows no adverse effect on health when used below the international guidelines. The technology uses a higher frequency level compared to 4G, which makes it less penetrative into body tissues.

While a higher level of radiofrequency can cause body tissue to heat up, the temperature rise resulting from 5G technology is negligible.

Catherine's previous backlash about her uninformative and dangerous healthcare procedure

The internet personality also faced backlash in December 2021, when she self-removed her IUD. McBroom had used Snapchat to describe her IUD woes and her successful attempt at self-removal.

The post showed her holding an IUD, while a part of the post read:

“I read it was difficult to take it out yourself but that didn’t stop me.. When I got it out was like my body gave it right up, I cried of happiness knowing my body was finally going to be happy and thank me. Anything but this.”

Fans were upset at Catherine McBroom for promoting a risky procedure that needs to be done by a professional. Risks related to incorrect IUD removal vary from blood pressure drop to severe uterine infections.
