Humans have tinkered with radiation since the late 1800s.

And though we've made scientific breakthroughs with it, think cancer treatments and X-rays,

those achievements have not come without some deadly consequences.

See, radiation is one of the most lethal forms of energy on the planet.

Yet, throughout recent history, we haven't been able to keep our hands off of it.

Today, we're going to dive into three real-life, terrifying stories surrounding radioactivity.

Our first tale is about a young boy in Mexico who found a stray radiation capsule.

Our second is about a man who thought radiation would cure all of his ailments.

And our last one is the terrifying story of the man who absorbed the highest amount of radiation ever recorded.

And as always, listener discretion is advised.

It's that feeling when the energy and the room shifts, when the air gets sucked out of a moment,

and everything starts to feel wrong.

It's the instinct between fight or flight.

When your brain is trying to make sense of what it's seeing, it's when your heart starts pounding.
