Yes, radium is extremely radioactive. The ionizing radiation produced by radium was used in x-ray generators within clinical settings a while back. It was so dangerous to handle and the waste was so expensive to take care of that medical industries switched to iridium. Nevertheless, anything/everything can kill someone when ingested/absorbed in excessive amounts. Too much water, salt, sunlight...you get the point
