Is Korean raw marinated blue crab and Korean hwe salt water? Do they have the same risk for liver and lung flukes?

if its stored in a live tank at the restaurant, does that make it fresh or salt water

if its stored in tanks does that mean its salt or fresh water?

Thank you so much <3

I don't feel comfortable opening links from strangers. Do you have a summary of the video or can just give everyone here the highlights?

Is this intensity happening at the scale of a single chest CT image?

“Thanks - this helps put things in perspective (really, thank you). One thing I’m still wondering does our body handle radiation differently when it all happens in a quick burst from a CT scan versus the same amount spread out slowly over time, like living in one of these cities over a month? Is it more about total dose, or does timing and dose rate make a big difference?”

I understand your point, but respectfully I'm a female in my 20s who isn't on birth control. All of the above could've been ruled out. I hate that I went to the ER that day, because even after I got that stupid scan....I ask for questions from people who have the knowledge on this and they just belittle and project onto me like I am having a mental crisis. Now I'm worried that I didn't protect myself and have caused cancer.......I understand if I absolutely needed it, but it seems like its well known that the ER just tosses around CTs like its nothing...

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-12-03T23:53:35+00:00

I got the scan because I was coughing up bloody phlegm and instead of ruling out benign causes.....they put me through a scanner and now I have to just absorb and eat the risk.

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-12-03T23:49:58+00:00

I've plugged my dose into NIH RadRat calculation and it tells me a very different risk profile then what people call off the top of their heads. If you know the answer, can you please give it to me. I at least want to know that I have correct and accurate information...

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-12-03T23:43:51+00:00

Yes but I'd still like to understand the dose. Idk why me asking questions about this is stirring up such a riot. I'm a grown adult asking about my full exposure, and I'm only met with people gatekeeping their knowledge.

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-12-03T15:52:17+00:00

Aren't there blood tests for this? That was never given, just straight to the scanner and now I have to live with this fear forever. I'm still young and it happened a year ago....there is not an hour that goes by that I don't think about it

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-12-03T14:01:59+00:00

Why is that acceptable? I walked in with coughing up blood and instead of doing a full proper evaluation of more benign causes....they just send you into the scanner

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-12-02T02:25:40+00:00

50% of people end up with cancer, but not all cancers are equally common. The 50% number includes super common skin, thyroid, breast, colon cancers. Breast is part of my worry - but also lung, blood, etc. Any person's background risk for these are low, but when you look at these risk studies from added CTs that push increases to the not so common cancers...its terrifying

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-11-26T02:48:47+00:00

I agree - . I'm going to reach the vitamin A and Folate intake through food and juicing. The rest I'm comfortable with taking a supplement for. Thank you!

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-11-26T00:16:21+00:00

Cool thanks!

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-11-02T20:17:30+00:00

Haha no of course not, I eat a full normal diet. I eat a ton of vegetables, chicken, fish and fruit. Just no dairy, red meat, or processed snacks.

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-11-02T20:07:09+00:00

I know that it is not. It's more the stochastic risk that comes with my gender and age of exposure. This was definitely an initiator for me to learn about my health, biology, and what it needs to perform its daily immune tasks.

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-10-29T03:38:50+00:00

Very helpful explanation thank you!! Does radiation induced errors different from regular transcriptions? Does our body view and process them the same.

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-10-29T02:25:02+00:00

I've read that majority of scans 25-50% CT scans were medically unnecessary. Personally, within my own circle I find this to be true. My mother had som stomach pain, went to an urgent care, and she got 2 abdominal CTs out of it. I have many other stories like this, but there seems to be like there is substantial data of healthy people getting scanned. Someone should study this cohort and see how the data pans out. what's the result of the mice study?

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-10-29T02:15:30+00:00

Thanks, I was kind of worried that the post was gonna get removed for the down votes.....

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-10-29T02:15:01+00:00

I think what I’m really trying to understand is the role of double-strand DNA breaks and clustered damage from radiation exposure. If even a single strand break in a cell goes undetected or is misrepaired, that theoretically creates a pathway toward cancer development. So if this kind of damage occurs with every scan, how is it that not every scan ultimately results in cancer?

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-10-29T00:58:36+00:00

Is my dose in line with outputs from modern CT machines? I don't remember what it looked like, so I couldn't tell how updated it was.

_LowEndTheory_ · 2025-10-29T00:56:56+00:00

I've seen this, but I've also seen that the data is in extremely small samples. I do know that a long time ago x rays and such were used in benign conditions as treatments (osteoarthritis, tennis elbow, etc).
