  1. when you are allergic to a food, your body reacts to the proteins in the food you eat. for example, if you are allergic to eggs, your body reacts to the proteins in egg, whether it is cooked, raw, etc. So technically, no, you cannot be allergic to a food just because it is microwaved, because it still contains the same proteins either way.

    However, microwaving DOES alter the makeup of the foods, so maybe you are sensitive to the effects of the microwave on your food? Another thing to consider is that if you have any chemical sensitivities, possibly your microwave was cleaned with a chemical that you react to. Either way, it's DEFINITELY worth mentioning to your doctor, because while it's not an allergy, it could be a sensitivity of some sort, so it's worth checking in to.


  2. No, that's not possible.


  3. You get what?

    Nobody is allergic to Microwaves, and the microwaves are contained inside the machine so they can't get out to you anyway.
