What are the symptoms after exposure to nuclear radiation?

　　The current leakage from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan has made people worried, especially those within the radiation range. So how do you know if you have been affected by radiation? Experts point out that if you have the following 8 symptoms, it means you have been exposed to radiation!

　　1. Nausea and vomiting

　　Nausea and vomiting are the earliest symptoms of radiation sickness. The higher the radiation dose, the earlier these symptoms appear. Someone who starts vomiting an hour after being exposed to radiation is most likely to die. Sometimes radiation sickness makes people feel bad at first, and then they start to feel better. But it often "lurks" for hours, days, or even weeks, followed by new, more severe symptoms.

　　2. Spontaneous bleeding

　　Radiation sickness can cause bleeding in the nose, mouth, gums, and anus. It can easily cause people to bruise and internally bleed, or even vomit blood. These problems occur because radiation depletes the body's blood platelets, which control bleeding.

　　3、Oral ulcers

　　Radiation sickness can cause sores or visible ulcers in the mouth. In addition, ulcers may form in the esophagus, stomach and intestines.
