   Tesla coils generate High Voltage.
   High Voltages, under correct conditions, DO generate
   X Rays.
   (The references were cited.....)
   X Rays are a health risk.

   Now I doubt that random coils, will generate significant
   X Rays, however it certainly bears thinking about, and reasoned
   discussion.  'geiger counters' are not usual, or reasonable,
   tools for X Ray surveys, as noted.

   cf as above.
