        I was there during the disaster and I’ll just say that radiation is terrifying. You know that it’s all around you, but you can’t sense it in any way. That’s a special kind of fear.

            You’re talking to a disabled person. You’re just doing a different sort of fear-mongering.

                I know all of that, but thank you for sharing it anyway. To be honest, you did. Your wording implied that I wasn’t one of those so severely impacted or that I somehow didn’t understand the gravity of the situation for the elderly and disabled.

                I know that wasn’t your intention, but it’s an emotional subject for me.

      if you ask these people what background radiation is they mostly just stare at you with huge bambi eyes.
