Hi, My name is Michele Foley and I work for CHOW magazine based out of San Francisco. I am currently working on a story regarding microwave use and was hoping someone at your organization may be able to help me with this. The question I am trying to answer is whether or not it is safe to put a teabag in the microwave that has a staple in it. Will this cause sparks? Why or why not? And does it make a difference if the staple is submerged in water? My deadline for this piece is Thursday, August 17th so a prompt reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Best, Michele
