Re: Lets test him....
said by cornelius785  :sure the microwave may use 1200W, but how much actaully gets out into the room? probably not alot considering the magnetron (the device that radiates the microwaves) is kept in a small (or large) metal cage that in theory, no microwaves leak out, in reality, only a small amount leaks out probably (don't know exactly, so look it up if you're interested). if it wasn't in a metal cage, well some funky (electronic devices freak out) or deadly (literal cooking of yourself) stuff will be happening. Cellphone drops call when closer than 1 inch to a seam at the door. Does not drop call when microwave is off. |

Cordless phones use more radiation. Is this guy allergic to them too? |

But enough DOES leak out to interfere with wireless routers - so if this guy is 'allergic' to the tiny signal put out by a router, he should be equally allergic to the small amount of leakage from a microwave oven.
Or a cordless phone.
