If we’re being completely honest, the levels emitted from that one single microwave looked pretty alarming.

According to this explanation, there was a device that measured the levels given off by the microwave.

At a close range, it was around 2000-3000. It then jumped to around 2-2.5 million and there was an incessant buzzing sound that lasted up till at least 20-30 feet away.

Patrick shared the Instagram Reel on her Story and wrote, “Been avoiding these for years!”
