No I agree.. This surely not a comfortable Topic to talk about.. Yes we all have found blank stares and awkward moments in the attempt to share what must surely be the most important situation at hand since 3/11/11. But we must fight the lack of interest in communicating what has become a very real danger well past 3 years ago. Fukushima has been deemed Many thousands of times worse than even Chernobyl ever was..and now we have many localized problems as well and we are in great jeopardy my friends. the picture is of a Hiroshima victim. Loss of hair is a side effect and a sign of radiation poisoning similar to a chemotherapy patient endeavor. Thought: Below is a verified source of very important radiation sickness information. In comments I will also post a series of recent/ongoing events that run parallel to the information below. Have you Heard of the recent Mumps out break in Ohio? We can clearly see they receive vast amounts of Weather in their vicinity are would surely be in the cross hairs if anyone were to show signs...it would be them. So lets open our minds to possibilities as the Radiation Situation intensify s. TY jh~ ---------------------------------------------------------- Q: What are the main symptoms of radiation sickness? A: Radiation sickness (acute radiation syndrome, or ARS) occurs when the body is exposed to a high dose of penetrating radiation within a short period of time. The first symptoms of ARS typically are fatigue, hair loss, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, as well as skin changes such as swelling, redness, itching and radiation burns. Symptoms may present within a few minutes to days after the exposure, and may come and go. This seriously ill stage may last from a few hours up to several months. today/id/42096826/ns/today-today_health/t/qa-what-are-symptoms-radiation-sickness/#.UzNDjKhdVIE ---------------------------------------------------------- dispatch/content/stories/local/2014/03/26/Mumps-continues-to-spread.html 82 cases of mumps now reported in outbreak that started at Ohio State!! The Columbus Dispatch • Thursday March 27, 2014 5:56 AM COURTESY A. HARRISON AND F. A. MURPHY | A transmission electron micrograph of the mumps virus The mumps outbreak that started at Ohio State University in February and spread beyond campus this week has now sickened at least 82 people from 4 to 55 years old, including 17 who live in Franklin County and have no direct ties to the school. Of the 65 cases linked to the university, four are confirmed outside Franklin County — one each in Fairfield, Licking, Union and Hamilton counties. Fifty-three cases are among students, seven are among staff members and one involves a student’s family member. The last Ohio mumps outbreak was in 2010, when 18 cases were reported in Lake and Cuyahoga counties. Mumps is rarely seen in the United States because of widespread vaccination that began in 1967. But cases and outbreaks do pop up and are sometimes found in groups with low immunization rates. Officials don’t know who started this outbreak, whether that person was vaccinated and whether those infected had limited protection. The university is working with the city to provide vaccines to students who were not vaccinated at all or who never received a booster shot. Mumps is spread by droplets of saliva or mucus, usually when the person coughs, sneezes or talks. Items used by an infected person also can be contaminated. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, appetite loss, and swollen and tender salivary glands. Mumps usually spreads before the salivary glands begin to swell and up to five days after swelling starts. msomerson@dispatch Favorite Print Story 7 COMMENTS Login or register to post a comment. flag JOEY SCHMOEY (JOEYSCHMOEY) What you will not hear is just how many people with mumps already had the vaccine. 20% of those with mumps were already vaccinated for it. 90% of people with whooping cough already had the vaccine. And over 50% of people with flu already had the vaccine. Vaccines are BAD science. They do not work as intended and all situation where vaccines are lauded as the cure were solved with other solutions. For example, polio died out on its own in a natural cycle like it had 2x before, and the vaccine was introduced right at the end of that cycle. Poor immune systems from the Depression era is what allowed disease/viruses to thrive, not lack of vaccines. -------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Who is in charge of protecting Americans from radiation exposure? A: State and local authorities maintain off-site emergency response plans, which are closely coordinated with the plants on-site emergency response plan. They also conduct off-site radiological emergency preparedness exercises at each commercial nuclear power station every two years. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issues licenses and policies governing safe operation of nuclear reactors and the commercial use of radioactive materials. NRC also performs inspections and oversees emergency response programs for licensees. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) In 1989 under the Clean Air Act, EPA published standards limiting radionuclide emissions from all federal and industrial facilities. EPA also sets environmental standards for offsite radiation due to the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) FEMA evaluates both the state and local off-site emergency response plans and the off-site radiological emergency preparedness exercises that are conducted at each commercial nuclear power station every two years. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for the development and implementation of the disposal system for spent nuclear fuel from the nation’s nuclear power plants. This activity is totally funded by a tax paid by the users of nuclear-generated electricity. The EPA has a really interesting calculator that allow you to calculate your own dose from daily living: epa.gov/radiation/understand/calculate.html
