Hi, All!

I've heard things about old microwave ovens leaking the microwaves because the seals around the doors of them are old and not as secure.

Is it true that some will leak the microwaves? And if so, is there a danger there?

Thanks!

How? You test them. Amazon.com: Digital Microwave Oven Leakage Meter: Kitchen & Dining (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027AIL7A/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001EUB6VM&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1BCF0YQ3HJEJTZTYDHWA)

Microwave oven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven)

So, for the most part, if the microwave isn't physically damaged, it's probably OK.

Like you've been in the hospital a number of times in the past. It was my turn for almost a week, this past week!
