Health problems caused by radiations


There are two types of health problems caused by radiation: short term and long term.
-In the short term the radiations provokes a modification of the DNA really fast and you can die instantly.
-The long term: The DNA is changed but slowly, so you don’t die. If the cancer is not repaired totally there will be more chances to have the cancer of the thyroid in the next generations (your children). You’ll have more chance because the bad cells will multiply.

Did you know? Some insects (such as cockroaches) survive radiation because they are less complicated than the human body.
