Good news indeed Restless .. according to Life's downlook on Life .. the more the merrier .. that way you will be helping your body build up a wholesale immunity to combat all diseases .. that is if the ones you get don't see you off first.
Sorry, no vaccines for colds is the bad news ... 1,000's of those little devils .. that would keep the pharmaceutical companies busy for years ... identifying all those. Anyways ... nobody dies of a cold, so low priority.
As to the radiation on smoke alarms ...been doing a little googling of my own, and all continents are in agreement as per this Australian site:-
ARPANSA - Radioactivity in Domestic Smoke Alarms
For those who do not wish to spend time in this link .. the information is that the radiation level is extremely low .. so low that it cannot even penetrate the dead cells on our body, and if anyone wishes to swallow the small capsule that the radiation is contained in, then would pass through the body without harm. Re-cycling no problem either.
Felt it only fair to post the one link that disputes this :-
Smoke Detectors
Did note there was an alterntive smoke alarm Life which works on some sort of optical basis ... perhaps you could install these to keep your family safe.
