Heating is not the only mechanism that can cause harm:

At one time, X-Rays were considered safe for all, including pregnant
women. And back then, they exposed you to a higher amount of
radiation.

Many people get a type of radiation burn that is so common we refer to
it as "sunburn". I don't think this is caused by heating (but does
require a lot more EM energy than cellphones produce.)
