How does radiation poisoning kill you, and why does it sometimes take weeks?
In: 223
Imagine atom-sized bullets hitting the DNA of your cells a trillion times. Things get bad when those cells are supposed to divide.
Also, imagine inhaling a speck of dust that is shooting out those bullets. Now a gun is stuck in your lungs shooting at your DNA and it’s very difficult to get out. It may be stuck there for weeks while you slowly die.
