Is it too late to tell him the reason why there are so many bathroom skeletons is because, with radiation poisoning, shitting yourself to death is the expected outcome.

Here I always figured your skin falls off and you get infections, or your bones melt out by turning to jelly. Or your bones start growing again in random ways, that’s a pretty horrible option..

I mean I know your guts would probably turn to soup because soft tissue and all, but would your muscles have the coherence to pass anything or are we talking random spasm? Also that one dude with super acute radiation poisoning, that wasn’t mentioned.. are we talking sort of long term exposure stuff here?

That one dude with the super high exposure got the exposure externally, so his symptoms reflect that.

With nuclear fallout, radioactive particles get stuck in your gut. It's not just doing damage while it's there, your body is actively responding to its presence.
