We've got a problem Houston. Just moved into new house. Gas oven. Seemed to be working ok. Finally had time to look at it properly, noticed a plate warming drawer at the bottom (it's a free standing unit). So, opened it up for a look see. Rat poison...in baking trays, oven trays, big plastic lid full of it.
I had cooked twice in the oven and used the broiler/griller above it. We had stomach problems after this. Stopped using oven. Contacted landlord. They claim its not a problem. I think the entire thing would be thoroughly contaminated by the combination of heat and rat poison, and volatile chemicals, and unsalvagable from a health and safety point of view.
Know what the agent said? "Well I spoke to the poisons board and they said you'd have to eat mouthfuls of the stuff for it to harm you. And it takes 10 pellets to harm a toddler." Such great concern. (And how the heck did someone find that fact out about the toddler?!?)
Does anyone know if it is really an issue? Would a good scrub out eliminate any probs? They are really not coming to the party with a solution. What about the residual chemicals and toxins which will be lurking where they can't get into to clean it?
Help! Advice seriously needed here. I'm cooking in the microwave, and I'm not happy. Any advice would be appreciated. :laser:I need some ammo
