Now filed under things I didn't think I needed to know but recent events are making me think about!
I think the bigger question is...why? I mean during a nuclear fall out the last thing on my mind is "gee I wish my hair was softer" but I do like to be able to brush it sooooo please explain.
"Conditioner can bind radioactive particles to your hair. "
Ah, okay...noted.
"Unlike shampoo, conditioners are meant to stay behind on your hair," Romanowski says. If the conditioner comes into contact with radioactive material, these sticky, oily compounds can gum radioactive dust into your hair, he says.
"Radioactivity is like changing a diaper. You don't want it on you, but if you do get it on you, just wash it off and go on with your day."
Ewwwww so its like the poop from a bomb. Got it.
A fallout shelter is best, but a basement may do in a pinch, Karam says. "If you see a flash, go inside right away," he says. It could save your life.
Well crap! I live in a town that is technically BELOW sea level. There are no such things as basements in these parts.... (also see, the water table is too high).
