Radiation exposure could have profound effects on living tissue, depending on the type and amount of radiation. Radiation sickness was a consequence of exposure to high doses of radiation, typically from naturally radioactive substances, such as radium, or high-energy electromagnetic sources, such as x-rays. Radiation exposure could, in some circumstances, lead to cancer and other illnesses by damaging the DNA in a cell's nucleus. Radiation sickness was characterized by nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, fever, and weakness. In advanced cases, internal hemorrhaging due to tissue damage could occur,[1] with more extreme cases causing a person's DNA to "unspool like noodles."[2] Radiation exposure could also burn skin and other tissues,[3] and the burns were treated the same as any other kind of burn. Radiation sickness was typically treated with basic supportive measures, such as fluid replacement and blood transfusions,[1] and in extreme cases, advanced techniques in DNA resequencing.[2]
