Radiation syndrome, otherwise known as radiation poisoning or acute radiation syndrome, is the result of a substantial dosage of radiation given to your body over a short period of time. The amount of radiation that the body absorbs, will tell how you’ll get sick.
The majority of occurrences of radiation sickness have happened in nuclear power plant accidents. Moreover, CT scans and X-rays, which use low-dose radiation, do not cause radiation sickness. Furthermore, exposure to high quantities of radioactivity in the body is the most prevalent cause of radiation poisoning.
