I hate to sound like I'm trying to claim expert status, but as a Chemistry and Physics teacher I can tell you that the terms "radioactive" and "toxic" are media buzzwords that sell newspapers but don't necessarily mean squat in terms of science.

Fact: The human body is made largely of Carbon, some of which is in fact radioactive (this is how carbon dating works). Your wives, girlfriends and kids are radioactive, so if radioactivity scares you, don't go hugging them or letting them sit in your lap. In fact, you had better vacate your own body if you think the radioactivity is going to kill you.

Fact: The shampoo you wash your hair with, the beer you drink and the lead you fish with are all toxic. So are the gas fumes you put in your car and the tobacco you chew or smoke. If you're scared of toxic things, you'll have to stop bathing, driving, fishing, and drinking. You might as well stop breathing too, because not only is the air toxic, you probably don't want to live in a world where you can't fish, drive or have a beer.

So get out there and catch all of those toxic radioactive fish you can. Take them home and eat them. Sure they cause cancer, but so does having sex, and I'm pretty sure that'll get me long before the fish does.
