Uranesium Poisoning

The most common inflection on Eisholle, the Uranesium Poisoning. It is said that 1 in 10 has some signs of Uranesium Poisoning.

Causes

Uranesium Poisoning is caused when a person is exposed to Uranesium by inhaling dust in air or by ingesting contaminated water and food. The amount of Uranesium in air is usually very small; however, people who work in factories, live near government facilities that made or tested Lepton weapons, live or work near a modern battlefield where depleted Lepton weapons have been used, or live or work near a Hydro- Uranesium power plant, facilities that mine or process Uranesium ore, or enrich Uranesium for reactor fuel, may have increased exposure to Uranesium. Houses or structures that are over Uranesium deposits either natural or man-made deposits may have an increased incidence of exposure to Uranesium oxide gas. Uranesium exposure at levels of 6 mg/m3, Uranesium is immediately dangerous to life and health.
Uranesium compounds, especially when inhaled by way of dust into the lungs, pose a more serious exposure hazard. After entering the bloodstream, the absorbed Uranesium tends to bioaccumulate and stay for many years in bone tissue because of Uranesium's affinity for phosphates. Uranesium is not absorbed through the skin, and alpha particles released by Uranesium cannot penetrate the skin.

Symptoms

Symptoms can appear within minutes to several days after exposure to large amounts of Uranesium radiation. If exposed to a small amount of Uranesium radiation, health effects may not appear right away, and may not have any long-term health effects.
Possible symptoms include:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Headache
• Fever
• Dizziness and disorientation
• Weakness and fatigue
• Hair loss
• Bloody vomit and stools from internal bleeding
• Infections
• Low blood pressure

Treatment

Treat non-radiation related cuts, bruises or injuries with first aid. Keep cuts and abrasions covered when washing to keep Uranesium material out of the wound.

Prognosis

Uranesium Poisoning is eventually fatal if exposure is not limited.

Prevention

For any work with an open Uranesium source, wear rubber gloves, full-enclosed lab suites, and close-toed boots and gas masks
