Can you recover from radiation sickness?

You can become seriously ill if you do nothing about this! It can cause cancer, radiation sickness, physical deformities in your body, and your children, and yet to be born children. Please take a few precautions and stock up on a few items that can help you and your family avoid being contaminated with this radiation. Full avoidance may not be possible, but there are measures you can take if you do get exposed to some of the toxic radiation.
