Mmkay is this going to kill me?

So I picked up a used microwave oven a little while ago and I just used it while the airport was streaming music to one stereo and a show to the apple tv. Instant total loss of signal to all devices:eek: The music switched on and off in time with the magnetron running at 80%:saywhat:

I am going to get cancer and die from this thing?

Microwaves do not use ionizing radiation (ie., they're not radioactive). They run at 2.4-ish GHz and they spin water molecules, which creates heat.

Exposure to RF radiation will cause damage to living things by heating them up. It first affects the eyes. You can kinda figure out what heating your eyes from the inside out might do.

Don't use it anymore. It's leaky.

(I think that you can purchase re-sealing kits, but microwave ovens aren't all that pricey)

Just make a new gasket out of duct tape, you'll be fine :gomer:

I'd be more worried about the airport. Shouldn't they be looking for aeroplanes?

re-gift it.
