Gees Boys,

I don't think Bob was asking for a medical opinion, or even whether 
there is any real potential for a problem. He asked a sensible question;

Does anyone indicate the presence of magnets on their exhibit floor to 
visitors?

Beyond that, he'd be foolish to rely on 'expert' opinions from anyone 
here, even if anyone could provide him with verifiable credentials. For 
that kind of information you have to go to a reliable source.

Just my unverifiable opinion.
