The ill effects of nuclear radiation can be (1) short term recoverable effects-affecting the skin, lungs, reproductive organs and loss of hair; (2) long term irrecoverable effects-include radiation sickness, bone marrow death, cataract induction, cancer induction, several infectious diseases like ...
If you're exposed to radiation, medical personnel can evaluate you for radiation sickness or poisoning through symptom checks, blood tests, or a Geiger counter, which can locate radioactive particles. Depending on the severity of exposure, there are different types of medical treatment. Decontaminati...
