What a relief.
Why you may ask?
Well..
In 1962, a 10 year old found a radioactive capsule, took it home in his pocket and left it in a kitchen cabinet. He died 38 days later, his pregnant mom died 3 months after that, then his 2 year old sister a month later. The father survived, and only then did authorities found out why.

The same thing also happened to a guy in Peru who stuck one in his back pocket and left it there all day. It ate a gaping cancerous wound into his ass and leg, resulting in a year and a half of excruciating, ineffective treatments including the removal of his leg, with his eventual death, which was merciful at that point.

Also in the 1970s, a capsule with radioactive Caesium-137 was lost in a sand quarry. 10 years later, it ended up in the wall of an apartment building and killed several people before the source could be found. Several sections of the building had to be replaced to get rid of the radiation.
