      Radiation poisoning depends on how much you get exposed to. In small amounts you can get burns on your skin, then the more you get exposed to the worse things get. Radiation sickness can seem exactly the same as being sick. You might throw up, and feel pretty rubbish. If the radiation was really strong then unfortunately there’s not a lot that can be done, and the damage will be happening inside your body.
      Hopefully none of us will ever be in a situation where we get radiation sickness!
