Madam Curie took a similar stance. She died of radiation poisoning, or was it cancer?
So I looked it up: Marie Curie died as a result of leukemia caused by the action of radiation. She was known to carry test tubes of radium around in the pocket of her lab coat.
From my navy nuclear power days, I remember radium as an internal hazard. She, like the paint brush crews that painted the dials on watches, probably ingested a great deal of radium as she likely didn't follow Fauci's advice to frequently wash your hands.

The Radium Girls.
They’d stick their paint brushes in their mouths, touch the tip/touch their mouths, etc.
Many of them died from the same thing, as Madam Curie.
