Poor Marie.

All things considered, it's amazing that she made it to the ripe old age of 66!

No apology necessary. Was only kidding! We now return to our regular programming.

It's certainly dangerous if you lick your radium lumed watch dials or decide to service the watches yourself and breathe in radium dust from disintegrated lume. The conventional wisdom is that it's safe as long as the watch case is intact and you don't do the foregoing. My Geiger counter shows all of my radium watches to have relatively low levels of emissions.

My geigers showed increasingly dangerous every time I jumped up to a better counter.

The GMC 600+ Picks up things the other two list as dead. Soooo, keep in mind detector quality matters ; )
