Solar winds contain high levels of radiation which could lead to various health related complications in living organisms on Earth. These complications include and are not limited to radiation sickness, chromosomal damage, and cancer. However, solar winds are blocked by the Earth's magnetic field, only posing problems to our telecommunications.
