Well you definitely won't get radiation sickness, and you can't get genetic damage directly from the ionizing radiation (there isn't any). And people argue non-stop about whether you might rarely get cancer from RF exposure, since cooking tissue is damaging and could possibly cause cancer.

I think everyone in the know agrees, though, that the threat profile from ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation is vastly different.
