FS: Radioactive marbles!

Would it be wise to jerk off after handling the marbles? lol hahahaha. Would a simple hand wash with soap do the trick?

No your going to need lead gloves if you plan on touching yourself ever again after handling theese marbles.

The only thing washing your hands with soap is going to clean off is the goo on your hands :rolleyes:
 
The top right side of my brain hurts bad! Am I getting a tumor? :eek: I woke up feeling like this and had a weird ass dream that me and my friends were taking turns running from the cops and getting away and we were tripping hard or something. Im sure and I hope its just paranoia but I havent really heard anything about these being perfectly safe except from a few sites. Who makes these and do they have a website or something? Im not really worried about myself its mostly my cat. Im going to work right now so if the pain goes aways once I get away from these marbles than maybe Im allergic or something, lol.
 
you're not being serious are you? you could swallow these marbles and be fine...

they probably put off the same ammount of radiation that a laser pointer does

With few exceptions, radiation affects are cumulative. The x-ray you got a few years ago will still be with you when you're 80. That's why you don't want to dive into a vat of these marbles :p

Heck, we're even carrying a small amount of radiation from the Chernobyl disaster.
That's not quite what "cumulative radiation effects" means.
Really, it means once you have been exposed, you can't "wash it off" or do anything to "undo" your exposure. Thus, you have to control the amount of radiation you receive per year. While technically you could add up all these exposures until you are 80 yrs old, few cells in your body will be around after that long. Your skin is completely replaced every 7 years. So as far as skin exposure goes, the radiation totalizer is "reset" every seven years. Other organs like bones hang around longer.

Thus, instead of saying how often the clock resets, the FDA and OSHA just limit the total radiation exposure a person can receive in a year, whether they got it all in one day, or a little bit every week.
