| | AllRefer Health - Radiation Sickness (Radiation Poisoning) |
 | | Radiation sickness is illness and symptoms resulting from excessive exposure to radiation, whether that exposure is accidental or intentional (as in radiation therapy). |
| | Radiation sickness is generally associated with acute exposure and has a characteristic set of symptoms that appear in an orderly fashion. |
| | Because it is difficult to determine the amount of radiation exposure from accidents, the best indications of the severity of the exposure are: the length of time between the exposure and the onset of symptoms, the severity of symptoms, and severity of changes in white blood cells. |
