My dish washer is starting to rust. does it pose a health risk if i keep using it? its been half a year of me using it like that.

Dish washer rust: There shouldn't be a problem. Rust - is a form of oxidized iron. It may stain your dishes and cause your water to have a metallic taste (iron in well water) but rusting appliances pose no threat except for water leaking and electricity.
