I'm curious to understand, just how much gamma radiation can a human body withstand before facing potential health risks? Are there any SAFE limits or thresholds that scientists have established? And how do these limits vary based on factors like exposure duration, frequency, and the individual's overall health status? Additionally, what measures can be taken to protect oneself from excessive gamma radiation exposure?

Exposure to this amount of radiation can lead to radiation sickness, a severe and potentially fatal condition.

In fact, half of the individuals exposed to this level of radiation are expected to succumb to the illness.
