I have seen critters alive inside my microwave just after boiling a cup of water for making tea. I have a photo somewhere. More Power Scotty !!! I suspect it has to do with the size of the critter related to the wavelength, or to critters that are walking flat on the inner metal surface of the oven. At 1mm they survive. -- Cheers, Carlos. |
