Is it really harmful to put plastic wrap in the microwave?

Just realized I ate a few bites of a quesadilla that had been microwaved with saran wrap still on it. The wrap was a little melted when I finally noticed and peeled it off. Honestly, I’m a bit freaked out about whether I just exposed myself to some kind of chemical poisoning. I know plastic isn’t supposed to go in the microwave(maybe) , but sometimes mistakes happen when you’re tired and hungry. Anyone else ever done this? Should I be concerned or just chalk it up to a lesson learned? #Food Safety #KitchenMistakes #Microwave #PlasticConcerns
