radiation can be your friend

[Phil]

Most importantly, bear in mind that the outcomes of statistical analyses in no way relate to you as an individual, unless you exceed a short-term lethal dose. The effect of low doses of hazardous materials? Nobody really knows.

As a consequence of educating myself about such things I no longer spend time exploring caves (or in dank basements) and my home is well ventilated. However, I did grow up in the fifties drinking milk so I've no doubt that my young bones received their share of radioactive byproducts from above ground nuclear tests plus lead in the drinking water since my youth was spent living in the lead belt.

In home radiation counters helped to ease my concern. For awhile I was quite ready to pack up and quickly return to the land of my youth.
