Question:
Im scared :( I live in California. If i get married to a man from asia, would it mean that we could not have (normal/healthy) kids?
Thanks.
Answer:
Effects would not necessarily be felt in other countries or even the entirety of Japan. But there is a danger of having radiation poisoning in the surrounding area around the plant.
What is radiation poisoning? It is the exposure to radiation that causes long term damage to organ tissue. It can cause cancer, tumors, and genetic damage. This is not just a threat to humans, but surrounding wildlife and plant life too. Humans would be unable to consume any meats or plants from affected areas as it would increase their chances of being poisoned.
When Chernobyl had a melt down, the trees near the area glowed, while the animals in the area became inedible. Children and people that consumed plants from the area had an increased chance of developing thyroid cancer.
As for marrying an Asian man (who live in a widespread area of millions of kilometers squared), I think you have little to worry about as even most Japanese are safe. Only the people living in the Fukushima area or close surrounding area would be in danger or having radiation poisoning.
