A member asked:
I touched shampoo bottles from japan. from 3 yrs ago where the tsunami/nuclear reactors happened. would radiation be on me or my clothes? and why?

No danger: Radiation damage occurs when the radiation waves pass through a substance and cause damage. Just touching an object like a shampoo bottle would not contaminate you or your clothing.
