People are putting face masks in microwave ovens to sanitize them. Here’s a news flash-it doesn’t work. Fire departments across the state are warning residents across the area not to use their microwaves to kill germs and viruses.  It is a major fire hazard.  Apparently a lot of people don't know that there is metal inside the mask to help you shape it to your nose. Those paper masks should not be re-used or sanitized. Microwaving a mask could cause your microwave to catch fire. Here’s the proof.
