The directivity of high gain antenna would mean that the danger
(if any) is limited (largely) to its beam path and width, so unless
you're very tall you probably needn't worry too much :)

I remember playing with an amateur VHF TV transmitter with a yagi
at college back in the '60s.  It could light a 6' fluorescent tube
at 10'.  It was interesting to feel a warmth in the ulnar while
holding the driven element!

Anyway, as you say, way off topic.
