This is the first reaction most people have to the title “How to Survive a Nuclear Bomb”. In reality nobody wants to survive a nuclear bomb. They don’t want to ever deal with one in the first place. The problem is the situation is completely out of our control. If you ever have the misfortune of being near a nuclear bomb when one detonates you will be thrust into a world with two outcomes. Either you will be vaporized, blown apart, gravely injured, incapacitated by prompt radiation OR you will be unaffected by the bomb’s immediate effects. Many hundreds of thousands or even millions of people could die in the first minutes of a nuclear event. For most, they are dead before they can suffer. It is the folks that witness the bomb yet find themselves alive and uneducated that will die a most horrible death from Acute Radiation Syndrome. 
 

While you may not want to survive a nuclear bomb you do not want to wave a white flag and die from the effects of radiation. Your alternative to learning to survive is vomiting, heavy diarrhea, headache, weakness, hemorrhaging, fever, dizziness and confusion. These are just the initial symptoms of Acute Radiation Syndrome. This begins a slow march towards death. In lots of cases people will seem to recover for a period after the initial symptoms. Extreme medical intervention, such as bone marrow transplants, could save the lives of a small percentage of people receiving a moderate dose, but many thousands or even millions could be suffering the same fate. Medical treatment won’t be available. For these folks, symptoms will return; infections, gangrene, intestinal paralysis, their bodies die from the inside out. Unfortunately, in these cases the human body is quite resilient. It fights to live. This prolongs the suffering as people will live under these conditions, slowly dying, for a few weeks to a few months. 

Fortunately this fate is avoidable. With a bit of knowledge and a few simple steps you can vastly increase the probability that you won’t suffer this fate. Again, surviving a nuclear bomb is not about wanting to survive. It is about you and your loved ones avoiding a horrible demise.
