Some effects of the atomic bomb were that over 100,000 people were killed instantly. More died from after effects of the radiation. For months after the explosions, in addition to the severe burns covering most of the victims' bodies, survivors developed symptoms that puzzled doctors, such as blood cell abnormalities, high fevers, chronic fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting, hair loss, and depression. "Radiation sickness" and "Acute Radiation Syndrome" were terms used by doctors to describe these various symptoms in survivors that surfaced a few months later.
