Hi I just bought 15dbi high gain omni directional antenna 2.4 GHz 15 dBi 802.11b 802.11g Wireless LAN and Bluetooth® Compatible Omni-Directional Professional Wi-Fi® Antenna
And I was wondering if mounting this antenna close to me or on the roof (working 24/7) would result in brain damage or health problems for me or my kids? I know that normal wifi antennas don’t make problems but this one is high gain 15 dbi…….. Thanks

No, i a high gain antenna would not have any health effects to your family members. As i recall someone said to me once, you would get more harm from sitting in front of the tv, crt monitors, microwaves and (if you are really paranoid) cellphones.

I probably wouldn't stand right beside it. I would have it at least 6 ft away from anyone. Like redcyborg typed, its really not going to hurt anything. Its the directional antennas that you have worry about....
