Radiological Emergency Get Home Kit

Alright, hold on just one minute...  A poncho that will help protect me from a dirty bomb???  The simple answer is - YES!

These improvised weapons work by using an explosion to disperse radioactive material into the air.  Many experts believe the material most likely to be used will be low level (alpha & beta), therefore the primary hazard comes from the airborne fallout - through inhalation, ingestion, and prolonged skin contact.  Keep the airborne dust and particles off your body, and out of your body, and your chances of healthy survival increase exponentially.

The poncho simply helps cover your hair and exposed skin, while covering clothing to prevent excessive radioactive material from collecting in it.  

The heavy black nitrile gloves protect the hands, while the N95 mask, when properly fitted, will help eliminate inhaled particles to protect the lungs and respiratory tract.  

The body wipe will help remove dust and particles from the skin if proper decontamination is not available upon exiting the "hot" zone. 

Finally, should a more severe radiation threat exist, we have included an iOSAT potassium iodide tablet to allow the user to initiate immediate prophylactic treatment in the field.  iOSAT potassium iodide is the ONLY FDA approved thyroid blocker that is approved for use in radiological emergencies, and is recognized to be safer than popular potassium iodate based products.  A complete insert with usage and dosing instructions is included with every kit.

No, this is no lead lined radiation suit, but most of us cannot afford one of those, and we've noticed that they're a bit too bulky to keep in your pocket - unlike this Radiological Emergency Get Home Kit!
