A member asked:
I put my hands inside a microwave, then scratched the inside of my ear canal. ears are so delicate - did i cause cancer or other illness to my ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: If you stood in front of the microwave for a period of time with the unit on that would be a cancer risk.
