Anyone knows exactly what happens to you when you inhale refrigerant?

R-12 is heavier than air, therefore it settles in your lungs, displacing the oxygen, causing you to suffocate.
If you go to the doc (HIGHLY RECCOMENDED) you will be layed at a severe incline (almost upside down) so the refrigerant will drain out of your lungs. After a couple of hours of hanging upside down (depending on how much you inhaled) you should be fine

Apparently 1 lb of r12 leaked out of the a/c system and I was only 2 ft away from it. When it shot out like a geyser though I moved further away. My instructor actually touched it and got kind of burned, he said his hand got all numb.

Your logic doesn't follow.... if microwaves are so weak, how do they cook food? Shouldn't you therefore be able to cook TV dinner by putting them out in the sun for the same - or less - time? Or use infrared rays to cook?
I don't think it's the fact that they're weak, I think it's that they're incredibly focused and concentrated... and even light, incredibly focused and concentrated, makes lasers.

microwaves make the water molecules inside the food bounce back and fourth extremely fast creating friction. maybe someone can explain this better. i suck at explaining in text
