    You wouldn’t know if you were in the radiation poisoning zone though.

    Like you’ve almost certainly been irradiated but, enough that you’ll die a horrible death in 5 days? Or merely enough to increase your risk of cancer in 40 years?

        Yes but my point is, most people are somewhere in between those extremes, and you won’t really know which end you’re nearest to.
