How do you remove radiation from someone's body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your body: doesn't become radioactive after being exposed to radiation. Theoretical damage from radiation occurs from direct damage or from mutagenic effects, but once the source of radiation is turned off, there is no more radiation. There are some nuclear medicine tests where radioactive substances are injected or ingested, but typically these decay relatively quickly or are eliminated via urine etc...
