I’m deeply troubled by the dose I get sleeping next to someone.

I sleep next to two people, and that’s worse than living near a nuke plant!

When people see headlines screaming about radiation levels 1200 times higher than normal, it helps to understand just how low “normal” is.

Wear a dental lead apron to bed. Or else skip eating a banana and you save enough radiation exposure to sleep with two people.

I sleep next to one person and two cats by my head. I’m going to die for sure.

A cat scan gives you 3000 to 5000 millirem. TWO cat scans to the head is a huge dose!

I think they actively scan when they are awake. So I might be OK as they are sleeping by my head.

Wear a dental lead apron to bed. I've been wrapping myself in tinfoil. Will that help?

I’ve always wondered just how much radiation I received from the Buster Brown shoe store that had foot x-rayer. You could watch your foot bones wiggle...back in the mid ‘50’s this was. Also, is it normal for one testicle to be bigger than the other two?

Excellent and interesting graph! Thanks for posting it!
If I'm reading this correctly, the average person receives more radiation over one normal day than someone living in a town near the Fukushima plant is receiving from the leaks.
But unfortunately, they are receiving that IN ADDITION TO what they normally receive.
