      I don’t think it will blow up, but high doses of radiation can burn you. There’s a lot of safety check put in place to make sure we’re zapping the right place. if we’re near sensitive healthy organs like lung, heart, or spinal cord, we have set maximum doses these can be exposed to so as not to damage them.
