I'm elderly, but I'm not your aunt. LOL
But I use the rice bag (actually it is a bean bag) every night also. I wrap the bag in a piece of old blanket and put into the microwave for 99 seconds. That makes it hot enough. The bag goes on my arthritic neck, and the piece of now-warm blanket goes on my feet. But that piece of blanket has 5 or 6 holes in it with black edges. I never saw a fire, but something burned that blanket. I've been heating it now for about three years; every night.
