Avoid polonium contamination - use condoms!

British health officials announced Friday that a person who had been in "direct and very close contact" with former Russian intelligence officer Alexander Litvinenko has been contaminated by the same radioactive isotope that killed Litvinenko last week.

Britain's Health Protection Agency said tests showed "a significant quantity" of polonium-210 in the unnamed victim's body, and said the person was being hospitalized for further assessment.

It seems to me that these two must have been awfully close. Like an affair. Like transmission of bodily fluids. They might be trying to keep it from Litvinenko's wife, but it's really nothing to be ashamed of! Yet another good reason to USE CONDOMS!
