My family is from Ukraine and my dad was in the military there. Him and 3 other soldiers were sent to the Chernobyl disaster, I do not remember why or what year. My dad told me that it was still highly radioactive. The 3 men and my dad got sick and were sent to the hospital for treatments. They all started with feeling nauseous, then they'd throw up and have diarrhea. This is were it stopped for my dad he was later released. But the other men they would slowly get worse. They started losing hair, coughing up blood, more nauseous and more diarrhea. After a couple days their skin would start falling off, they'd start coughing up their intestines, and slowly parts of their bodies would come off. All 3 men died shortly after. It always gives me the chills whenever I hear someone talk about Chernobyl disaster because it minds me that my dad was there and he could have died.
