Anomalocaris Posted August 25, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Even at low levels, radiation can make people sick over time. But brief periods of intense exposure, like after the destruction of the Fukushima reactor in 2011, can cause more immediate health threats, especially on the gastrointestinal tract, or even death. Now researchers have developed a drug that can stop damage to the intestines as long as it’s administered up to 24 hours after a patient is exposed, according to a study published recently in the journal Laboratory Investigation.

Wickian Posted August 25, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Well, as long as the side effects aren't worse than radiation poisoning, go for it. Or even if it does have some bad side effects, if it can prevent birth defects of future children. Not sure if it can do that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
