Bananas are not as harmless as they seem, researchers warn. A banana absorbs 0.1 microsieverti, a quantity of radiation sufficient to feel a strange drowsiness, specific to irradiation.

Researchers urge banana fans to consume bananas dipped in vinegar to absorb the radiation. "Fruit salads and bananas will not be radioactive if the bananas are fried a little, " said a researcher at NASA  for comedy-central.net.

Also, people who live in brick or stone houses are advised to move to concrete houses, to avoid exposure to radiation also caused by houses.
