OP, I mean this in a nice way, but you are wound up way too tight lol.
Also, it’s water-soluble, so if you’re that worried, just wipe it all down with a wet rag a few times. |

What if your pal had residue on his hands and actually ingested some? You better have him go to the ER immediately.

I eat lunch in my combine or tractor when I am in the field and probably have diesel, ether, grease, hydraulic fluid residue on my hands.

Likely rat studies and use the human conversion calculation. Also coolant has had bittering agents added since the 90’s, nothing is drinking it now. |

The antidote to antifreeze poisoning is ethanol.

Stop being terrified of everything. Anti-freeze is not Polonium. Anti-freeze is not VX or any type of Nerve Agent. People breathe it in for Years, from leaking radiators. I’m not going to say “Don’t be a pussy”, but I will say, “Grow up and learn how to make Rational risk/benefit calculations. Practice using Critical Thinking at all times”. The more you do it, the easier it will become. |

Take it outside and hit it with a pressure washer. You'll want to rig the door so you can spray inside while it's running.
But seriously, you'll probably be fine. I was eating after messing with a gun once and thought "why is this sweet?" I had some blue loctite on my finger and after googling to see if I was about to die I learned it has saccharine in it. |

We were pumping a couple thousand gallons of glycol into a HVAC system at a school we built when a 2 inch hose fitting blew apart. Me and a few others got soaked with that stuff. Everybody lived.

So hand, to cell phone, to microwave food container to air contact, to microwave wall contact, to future food contact is what we are worried about here?
Shit, I hope you don't eat at popular sandwich chains .that will give you nightmares if you worry about foodborne illness the same as Chem contamination. for some science, the potentially lethal dose is 1.5ml per kg, so if you are 200lbs 135ml or ~4oz injested could kill you. I would think that the amount transfered to your microwave would be .less than that. Or otherwise insignificant exposure. You probably are exposed to more handling the pen at the auto dealership service counter and itching your nose afterwards. Not a scientist, but yeah. Interesting thread. |

He definitely needs a woman in his life, that's for sure. I wish he and SSG would hook up. That would give him a woman in his life and give her a new man in her life so she'd quit talking about her fucking buddy - maybe. |

What do you guys think? @CRSSBNS 1) Ethylene Glycol is soluble in water. Rinse the rotating plate under hot water in the sink, then dry off with paper towels. 2) Take moist paper towels and wipe off the inside surfaces and the outside buttons. Done. Please don’t buy a new microwave. The above is above and beyond what you need to do. |

It's awesome that you are able to fix your motorcycle inside the house. A woman would prevent this. A woman would also have prevented getting antifreeze in the microwave.
They are good at things like that, and also why they live longer than men. |

I use the microwave about 2-3 times a day. Tell me you haven't laid under a vehicle to change a lower radiator hose and accidentally taken a shower in coolant without actually telling me. Lol I'd wager most mechanics have accidentally ingested more coolant on one occasion than you have a chance of being exposed to from dirty hands touching a container in a microwave. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By zukguy: lol, Do people really worry about useless shit like this? Clean the microwave and forget it, the small amount on his hands wouldn't harm a mouse, but I guess you could put a mouse in the microwave and turn it on, if the mouse is dead, you have your answer. Don't do this, you might turn into Mickey Mouse. I'm a mechanic, and wash my hands before using the microwave, but I'm sure there are still chemicals on my hands to some degree when I use it, but I'd worry more about all the chemicals the microwave is built with before worrying about the small amount still on my hands. If he's microwaving every meal, his "food" is probably as bad for a human as the coolant. Lol |
