      Some organs in the human body develop a resistance to radiation of a certain strength, but theres no way we can ever be totally resistant to radiation. Radiation reacts mainly with the water of which we are made from!

      if the exposure rates increase very very slowly it is possible that we humans will adapt to the change…

      Everyone is exposed to a tiny bit of radiation, it’s naturally occurring in the atmosphere. Small doses could build up immunity, and also there are some people who radiation just doesn’t work for, there’s no explanation, so already, some people are immune!
