I'm much too concerned with heating up my irradiated hamburger in my microwave while talking on my cell phone, and drinking directly from the faucet. Honestly, there must be a thousand more dangerous things that we do everyday. I might have them swept with a Geiger counter, or place them on unexposed film just to be sure, but I don't think there's any real danger.- Edward
