Burns and sores can be seen on patient's skin. They seem to be spreading.


Radiation Sickness is a rare but very dangerous affliction that can be inflicted by being too close to a nuclear explosion (such as from nuclear shells, or nuclear depth charges), being inside the lasting area of effect of a Dirty Bomb, being poisoned by Radiotoxin, or being in Jovian Radiation in the Campaign.

Radiation Sickness will cause progressively worse Burn damage on all limbs, leading to quickly accumulating damage.

The Nausea effects cancel the usual natural decay of Nausea (-1/s). This is included in the table below, so for example between 50 and 75 strength, nausea actually increases by 1.05/s, and decreases naturally by 1/s, netting a 0.05 increase.
