Quick! Find a lead lined box and climb in. You are getting bombarded with radiation (if you are on planet Earth). Oh.....make sure not to eat bananas. And forget getting married... human bodies give off radiation.

As mentioned above, this is a useful chart I have long been sharing with my students http://xkcd.com/radiation/

Do some scientific research.

best,

PS: Having a scientifically identifiable risk of having illness from radiation exposuiure (100 miliSieverts) and dieing from cancer are NOT synonomous.
