    Showered in microwave heated water - bad?

    Yes, I was out of hot water in the shower so I heated up a kettle of hot water in the micro owen and used it for shower. Was that a bad idea? Is it toxic and bad for the skin? Maybe a stupid question, just wonder.

    how on earth did you heat enough water in a microwave for a shower?

    it cannot hurt you - we drink things heated in microwaves

    why did this this worry you?

    Why didn't you just heat water up as normal?

    This seems to be an over excessive reaction to something to be honest.

    OK then

    I think I answere that; I heated up a kettle. I am quite eccentric you know. Sort of a Mr. Bean solution I guess.

    You're obviously still alive, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    This is one for the "Huh Files" PVike Think about this logically for a moment. We eat and drink microwaved food and beverages on a regular basis. What harm (other than scalding yourself if its too hot) could come of this?

    I think you know it was just one of those intrusive thoughts that get to you and you doubted your mind.

    But if you do get any super powers from this, let me know!

    I guarantee you you probably put more dangerous items on your skin that are known to cause cancer every day.

    Parabens, sls, disodium edta, phenoexethonol.....

    Do you worry about these too?
