Doing Just Fine
As of the time of writing, Bugorski is still alive. Several decades have passed since the accident, but he is doing just fine. He is now in his 70s, married, and completely cancer-free. If you ever have to get hit by a small stream of radiation, you should pray that it will be contained and narrow. Otherwise, you will not have the luck Bugorski had. Do you want to know what it would have been like had he not been so fortunate? The answer involves full-body shutdown, severe burns, organ failure, and death. That does not sound pleasant at all, does it? If you want a long and healthy life, we highly recommend keeping your head out of particle accelerators.
Doing Just Fine
In The Long Run
Even if you do not get hit with such high amounts of radiation, know that moderate amounts can result in a higher risk of long-time exposure. This is the issue with most of the radiation we experience in our daily lives. Radiation of this kind increases the chances of mutating cells and inducing them to neglect the signs of normal cellular replication. Should this ever befall you, the cell will likely commence a runaway replication spree of sorts. The replicating cells, if untreated in time, will eventually turn into a form of cancer. This is something that everyone should do their best to avoid. It is certainly incredible that Bugorski did not end up with the ailment. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that brain cells do not replicate.
