Walking ghost phase

The walking ghost phase of radiation poisoning is a period of apparent health, lasting for hours or days, following a dose of 10-50 sieverts of radiation. As its name would suggest, the walking ghost phase is followed by certain death.

Treatment
All current medical treatments are palliative, largely pain management.

Post-latent symptoms

 * Prostration
 * Diarrhea
 * Malnutrition
 * Fever

Cause of death
A painful death, marked by delirium and coma, inevitably awaits any recipient of such a dose of radiation, between 2-10 days after the completion of the walking ghost phase of radiation poisoning.
