The term "microwave poisoning" is based on a misconception about how microwave ovens work. In fact, standard microwave ovens do not cause radiation poisoning; instead, exposure to very high levels of microwave radiation can cause thermal, or heat-related, injuries.

The World Health Organization (WHO) notes that current scientific evidence does not confirm any health consequences from low-level electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. However, some individuals report a variety of real symptoms they attribute to EMF, leading to questions about what are the symptoms of radio wave sickness and related conditions. This article explores the scientific understanding of these issues.
