CHAPTER FIVE—RADIATION (☢): Let's Go Sunning' ║➥Note: The below reference ranges are for normal
║human populations. The immunocompromised (e.g.,
║HIV+, receiving chemotherapy, diagnosed with myelo-
║proliferative disorders, receiving corticosteroids
║or other immune-suppressing drugs), children, the
║elderly, the malnourished, those who have renal
║disease, and those with ongoing infections are at
║increased risk of developing more serious forms of
║radiation sickness. Likewise, those who have con-
║trolled food absorbency problems, who are on mech-
║anical ventilation, who receive IV food & liquids,
║who wear sunscreen, use diuretics, iodine tablets,
║or chelating agents may fraction or decrease their
║radiation dose, without affecting the intensity
║and course of the syndrome
per se. This also
║includes the effects of
Rad-X. Once exposure
║occurs, the amount of the 'creeping dose' is the
║only factor that is important in judging the na-
║tural course of the poisoning.
║Metahumans seem to be affected by radiation more in-
║tensely than humans, but in different ways, although
║the effect we've seen is weak and interpersonal var-
║iation is high. In theory metahumans would be more
║susceptible to direct damage and mutation as their
║typically chimeric DNA is poorly protected by in-
║trinsic repair mechanisms, but likewise they would
║protected from disease by their heterogeneous and
║rapidly mutating gene

Moderately-severe radiation poisoning ║➥
LD-75/30 ║➥Subacute ('prodromal') phase (symptoms 2–4 hrs after expo-
║sure for 1–2 days)
║ ➥Somatic symptoms:
║ ➥Moderate headache
║ ➥Moderate-to-severe nausea with or without vomiting
║ ➥Torpor
║ ➥Rad-Away is still effective at this point
║➥Latent ('walking ghost') phase (2–10 days after exposure)
║ ➥Immunological–hematological:
║ ➥White blood cell production severely impaired
║ ➥Platelet production is stunted
║ ➥Intensive efforts must be made to prevent overwhelming in-
║ fection
║ ➥Isolation from general population is strongly advised
║ ➥Prophylactic broad-spectrum antibiotics are indicated
║ ➥Injection of cultured leukocytes may obviate immunosup-
║ pression
║ ➥Significant amount of the body's bone marrow is permanent-
║ ly destroyed
║ ➥Bone marrow transplants will be needed
║ ➥Eventual anemia will set in from lowered production of
║ red blood cells
║ ➥Stem cell & cloning technology can potentially stop pro-
║ gression here
║ ➥Reproductive:
║ ➥Temporary sterility in males
║ ➥Spontaneous abortion in pregnant females
║ ➥25% chance of permanent sterility in females
║ ➥Other:
║ ➥Significant amount of hair loss over the entire body
║➥Acute ('killing') phase (11–42 days after exposure)
║ ➥Neuropsychiatric:
║ ➥90% chance of mild symptoms
║ ➥Irritability
