Description:
Men and women who work constantly in a field that requires frequent medical procedures to protect them from radiation will find no benefit in this shot. However, for the particularly paranoid or for those men and women on the field of battle; these shots might just save their lives. The Genetic Hardening Injection is a chemical cocktail designed to shield individuals from the harmful effects of low-to midrange radiation exposure. Once injected into the body, this cocktail is attracted to cells and strands of DNA. The liquid composition than clings to and encase the cells with a mucus-like casing, while not harmful to the cells in the long term, can cause fatigue and nausea for the user.
When radiation enters the body through the skin, these casings work to absorb as many harmful radioactive particles as they can to protect cells and DNA from mutation (and from the disruption of the chemical bond within cells). The skin, however, is the least protected and most damage will be done to the outer layers of the body while the vital cells on the microsopic layer are protected. The injection will help stop radiation poisoning and unwanted mutation for up to 24 hours, at which point the beads will enter the third stage of chemical change in which the mixture loses its adhesiveness and detaches from cells and is expelled from the body through natural means over the course of days or weeks (usually causing some discomfort during that time). Since the mixture cannot possibly encase every cell and strand of DNA, what portions of the mixture remain will work to destroy damaged cells to avoid the ill effects as they are slowly dispelled.
This injection is not the be-all-end-all however. While low amounts of radiation can be absorbed by the beads, they each have a limit of how many particles they can stop. In the event of a massive radioactive event it is very possible these injections will fail. For instance, being within the immediate area of a radiation bomb (especially in space) will be a death warrant with or without the injections. However, being on the outskirts of the blast or walking around a particularly radiated engine room will be a safe practice within the 24 hour period the injection works.
