If vou had an operation and your thyroid gland was removed, the medicine will
do the job that vour thyroid used to do. So, you must keep taking vour medicine.
Some people who did not have the operation also take the medicine so that their
thyroid glands do not get sick. It is very important that you take your medicine if
you want to stayhealthy.

What kind of radiation caused thyroid sickness and leukemia?
Thyroid sickness in the Rongelap people exposedto fallout was caused by damage
to the thyroid gland from a “thyroid radiation poison.” It took a long ume for the
sickness to show. A few unexposed Rongelap people as well as some people in the
Marshall Islands and all over the world develop thyroid sickness, but it is not due to
radiation. All the “thyroid poison” on Rongelap was gone when the people moved
back Leukemia is a disease of the blood. Some cases were caused byradiation in
Japanand it is possible that aa leukemia mayhave been duc to radiation. Time
is about past for any more leukemia to be expected from radiation.

What will happen to the people who were not exposed to radiation but are now
living on Rongelap and Utirik?
They don’t have to worry because there is practically no chance that anyof the
people will get sick from radiationsince there is so verylitde radiation left on the
islands.
