Does Standing In Front of a Microwave Give You Radiation?

No, not unless your microwave has a leak, or its door won't fully close. Microwaves are protected with a layer of special layering that doesn't let any radiation out. Also there isn't enough radiation to harm you in today's microwaves. This myth was started because when they were originally testing the first microwave people stood in front of it a lot, and they all got a severe kidney problem. The public found out about this and over time it turned into this myth. So next time you are about to overcook your meal, feel free to look into the microwave. -John Baskin
