I remember peaking a high Q 10KHz coil with substantial switching
power flowing and feeling the burning sensation under the skin when I
brought the hand too close. So it's not just microwaves...

Ma RF can burn you. If you held on to a metal antenna that was pushing
Ma 100W through it on VHF, you'd feel it...

Ma Granted a microwave is pushing far less and at the opposite end of the
Ma practical RF band, but this falls in to the same category about people
Ma who are worried they'll get brain cancer from using cell phones. We
Ma won't know for another 20 years on that one.

Ma Are there any reports of people getting cancer from microwaves? I
Ma don't recall any. They've been around for 15-20 years mainstream.
