Question: I accidentally burnt a plastic container in the microwave. Are the fumes harmful?
I was making me Kraft macaroni and cheese in the microwave, and I forgot to put water in it and It started smoking really bad, I opened the microwave door, and opened the doors to outside to let the smoke out.

I want to know if I need to get a new microwave, or go to the doctor.

Oh yeah, and my lungs are starting to hurt.

Yes, the fumes are harmful. I would try my best not to breathe any of them in. Your microwave will be fine, but will likely be stained for a while.



You and your microwave will be fine...You aren't going to die...Just turn on a fan and open a door and air out the kitchen...



You and your micro will heal. Only the mac was permanently damaged.........



Air out the house that stuff is toxic. Don't know what a dr can do call and ask someone.



Yes But you won't die
