As the title says...

Moving is not much of an option. I have to eat food. I work outside in the rain. What actual options do I have beyond the suggestion of 'iodine'?

We're not eating ANYTHING out of the Pacific. We've recently stopped eating local meat and dairy. Cant really stop eating vegetables, too.

Suggestions? Are we all just being zapped and there's nothing to be done?

You've already been bathed in it for a year now...

A little late to worry, My advice, indoors when it rains, and washing of foods.

My wife is 4 mos pregnant.....We live outside of Seattle.

Not awesome.

If you're that concerned get a Geiger counter but not necessarily a cheap 1950-60ish civil defense one (not sure if they still work correctly).

I just started looking into one today, actually.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

As mentioned, iodized salt, That can help prevent thyroid issues.

Beyond that, live your life as normal. You're not a bovine calf so I don't know why you (or any other HUMAN for that matter) would drink cow's milk, and there are plenty of other ways to get calcium, and you synthesize vitamin D by being in the sunlight.

If you're really worried, don't ingest anything positive for beta or gamma radiation, and you should probably avoid anything positive for alpha radiation. You should probably avoid direct sunlight too, unless you need vitamin-D. Don't eat anything with C13 or C14.

Heck, don't eat anything... even bread. Everyone who has consumed bread has died so bread should be considered one of, if not THE most common causes of death.... Oh, and no water either since everyone who's ever drank water has died....

I'm not concerned about dying of old age, smartass.

I'm concerned about the food i feed my growing kids.

Thanks for noticing the sarcasm.

Then, import your soil from somewhere with lower Geiger readings and plant / grow your own food.

Otherwise, realize that radiation is normal- it surrounds you all the time.

You're probably getting more radiation from EME like power lines, Wifi and such than you will get from any other source in you, or your growing kids' lifetimes.

What makes you so confident?

Watch your diet, avoid the rain and do the usual things to mitigate your exposure. I think you can take comfort in the fact that being born with a tail and/or flippers does not carry the same stigma it used to, tails especially are quite easy to remove these days and we all know a pair of flippers = good swimmer, 4 flippers = great swimmer.

I'd move outa that area. The cost of living is way too high. Oh, I forgot, this is about high radiation levels not
cost of living levels.

/me confident? Okay.
I've done EME surveys and found overhead power lines emit RF at far higher levels (2-3 times higher) than cell phone towers and such.\

And I know that if you don't open your windows, you may be a victim of radon poisoning.

Next question?
