Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have heard of this before (I don't know when. I don't know where) so I thought I would check with snopes. I only found a single paragraph at snopes on the blood, I did find information on the microwaved water. Snopes says FALSE about that issue (who ya gonna believe???). http://www.snopes.com/science/microwave/plants.asp The link is mostly about the water trials except for the last few lines where blood is mentioned.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 At 03:11 PM 4/9/2008, you wrote: Got curious, so I did some searching - turns out that the story isn't true. The incident did happen, but a jury found that Norma Levitt was killed by a blood clot, not by blood heated in a microwave. The link above takes you directly to the decision by the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals Will give the link, but this particular site had a number of comments on the story - several by what sounds like medical professionals. Here's one: " Blood is NOT put in the micro wave to warm up before being tranfused. The blood comes right from the blood bank, and started with in 1/2 an hour of taking it out of the fridge. A bag of saline is hung with it. And it goes through the IV tubing and warms up by the time it reaches the body. About 4-5 checks and triple checks are done by two nurses before the blood is even started. this lady was in the operating room. The blood was still brought right from the blood bank and started right away. " Came from: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/comments/3142/ which looks like an interesting place. Quite a few comments on the microwave/blood story. Snopes does a have point - what happened to one plant or seedling isn't really a very good test - that plant or seedling could have been compromised for some reason. A more valid test, would be to try it on a number of plants and seedlings I still have my doubts about microwaves, though. But, it would be interesting to try doing the same experiment with a number of plants. Perhaps when we get settled, I'll try it. Am very curious as to the outcome.......
