Which is a different way of saying what I said. You'd have to consume reasonable quantities of a radioactive substance to die of it, or get hit with a crapload of gamma rays. Either way, neither radiation poisoning or cancer spread from person to person.

@AnnoyingingeXD Radioactive particles emit radiation for differing amounts of time. Some for hundreds of thousands of years. If gamma rays hit something they can alter the nucleus to make them emit radiation themselves. Radioactive elements can be incorporated into the living body and still give off radiation. This eventually hits the cell's DNA causing cancers and mutations. Cancer can take a long time to kill someone.

It's not. Radioactivity itself cannot be stored, it travels in a straight line at high speeds, approx 3x10^8 meters/second, meaning it would leave the Earth in a very short time. Unless it hits something, in which case it is absorbed and ceases to exist.

However, unstable particles can enter the body, which would release radioactivity at some future date. But this is rare, you'd have to actually eat or drink radioactive isotopes, and if you did this it would kill you pretty quickly.
