A-bomb Disease (Radiation sickness)

A-bomb disease, or radiation sickness, occurs when the body is exposed to a high dose of radiation, such as from a nuclear explosion. This intense radiation damages or destroys cells and tissues, especially those that rapidly divide, like bone marrow, skin, and the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fatigue, and skin burns. Severe cases may lead to internal bleeding, infections, and organ failure. Recovery depends on the dose received and prompt medical treatment. It illustrates how powerful radiation can disrupt normal bodily functions and cause significant health risks.
