how does acute radiation poisoning induce vomiting, nausea within just tens of minutes of exposure, and in more serious cases, instant loss of consciousnesses?
In: Biology
Radiation is especially damaging to soft tissues – skin, blood and blood vessels, GI tract, brain and nerves.
If you get a full body dose, the GI tract (stomach and intestines) are damaged and thats where the vomiting and nausea come from
Platelets are damaged and wounds and burns hemorrhage without an ability to stop bleeding
Take a big dose to the head, the brain and nerves are damaged, and along with the bleeding, it’s a terrible, terrible thing
