>>>I have a fondness for post-apocalypse movies, even though sci-fi is not my genre. "28 Days Later" was set in England after the big one and was very well made IMO. For more fun, I liked "The Day After Tomorrow" starring Dennis Quaid. After a new ice age strikes the northern U.S. he heads south to escape. There is Dennis on snowshoes, trekking south, trying to find his son, played by a young Jake Gyllenhaal. The touch of humor, always appreciated in a Roland Emmerich production, was that so many Americans were doing the same thing that Mexico had erected a checkpoint to prevent Americans from swarming into Mexico illegally, LOL.

Time to learn something - :-)

Remember "Diarrhea" and you know most of the symptoms of radiation poisoning. (Yes, I took the course on this :-)

Hair falling out - High fever
